CSE 2021: Plan / Strategy / Daily Routine
Hello 2021 aspirants. I thought it would be nice if we can share what we are doing and intend to do with one another here.
This could be a thread for discussing everything prep for 2021.
No one method fits all but to see the plans and progress made by fellow aspirants might help with the finer details of preparation and also keep one on track.

I would advise against making notes out of it. There are two reasonsHow good are the IE Explained pages from prelims perspective? Is it worth making notes out of them for the past few months?
- Most of the current affairs questions in UPSC have become random and scarce. Sometimes news 2-3 years back is asked. Very little utility in making systematic notes out of any newspaper from Prelims persepctive. Better to spend that time in consolidating static portion and revising a good coaching compilation multiple times.
- Rau's IAS has started an initiative of making videos on their YouTube channel every week on IE Explained section. They also provide notes. You can check that out.
Bhai, what an amazing piece of thing you told regarding explained notes. Life aasan kar di! Thanks a ton!

I think going through this in ajudicious manner would be extremely helpful.
The past four days were slow, mainly because of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday.
I managed to complete SFG syllabus for next test, review of previous test, Newspaper, Current Affairs 2 classes + IR CA Sept and Oct, Maths 14 pages
Could have done at least double that if time was properly utilised

My experience has been that once I work really hard for 3-4 days, by the fifth day I'm completely drained out with no motivation to study. Do you also experience something similar? How do you cope? I'm thinking having one day a week as a light day with good rest and minimal study. Any other advice?
same thing happen to me !

IamThat,SurvivalYou can keep one day every week as a rest day. Alternatively, you can solve few easy tests whenever you feel like this. You can also solve some PYQs. It is a fresh experience. But you have to find what really makes you feel better and rejuvenates you for the study.My experience has been that once I work really hard for 3-4 days, by the fifth day I'm completely drained out with no motivation to study.

For things like these, I do not study post-lunch on Sundays. It helps me. You can try!
