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.

Newspaper is done. Now targets-

Ancient Upinder Singh 15 pages- Notes

Medieval IGNOU 1 chap- Notes

Ancient Mapping

Government Schemes

As the great talented, maestro I am, none of the targets were achieved and on top if it, have not been able to sleep properly. Maybe exam stress. So next day automatically goes bust. Now here is the catch, if I sleep again in the noon to cover up for the lost sleep, in the night I cannot sleep and cycle will continue endlessly. 

Anyway, the same targets are being rolled over for today.

Today was better. Instead of the usual 9:30-10:00 am, woke up at 8. No afternoon naps did good for me.
I Will continue the same and in 2-3 days will reach my target of 7. 
Having completed the newspaper,

The targets would be--

1) Ancient- 15 pages
2)Medieval- Ignou chap 2.
3)Government Schemes
4)If time permits, a security/disaster management class.

Woke up at 7:45. Sleep has been better. Getting that early sunlight too. However, if anybody asks me why the tan, I will blame it on you guys! XD

Coming back,

Paper Done.

Now 1 chap of IGNOU

Upinder singh 15 pages

Security( mains 365 2020) 2 issues.

Targets for 22/05

Basis and dimension 

Ethics Answer writing

CA   


Only some parts of maths and CA was competed today.

Clocked around 3 hrs.

This is poor preparation.

Enough days have passed since the postponement, still no rythm found.

Need to introspect and to stress on the why part. It is another beginning and strong drive(specially in the begining) needed to find momentum.
