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.

Good morning hai ji.
Here we go:
1. PSIR: Intl Relations and Approaches (3 - 4 hours)
2. GS 2 : Topic 5 (3 hours)
3. Daily stuff
Most important: No afternoon naps! :P
Have a good day, gentle peepul! :)
Same targets basically (for context, we both are following the same schedule)
Let’s do this 🙌🏻
Just got done with today’s target.
By noon today, I had just read the newspaper. NOT ideal. Also, PSIR took a lot of time today.
Will try waking up earlier from tomorrow and try finishing off most things before lunch, so that I don’t feel guilty taking time off in the latter half of the day.
About what I was saying of losing sense of time earlier (😂), what I really wanted to say was how I can’t seem to get hold of it. Sundays come and go, and I’m just stuck in perennial loop doing same things over and over. Then every once a while, it hits me that god okay it’s May…or it’s June.
It’s not like not doing stuff. I am. I’m pretty content with all I’ve got done since prelims has postponed.
But where does the time even go? I miss the days where I would just watch the sunset for an hour. Abhi, I’m just running against time, all the time, everyday.
Hey, it's me againPlain, you see againPlease, can I see you every day?P.S. I know I can't have a song as an opening everyday, let me enjoy while it lasts
A friend of mine dropped by, the only one probably who visits me. I was having a unusually good start, that tanked it real good and sent me spiraling down endless pit of misery. Sometimes I think why do I overthink so much?
Would have to carry over Sociology tomorrow.
So, spent my first quarter doing nothing. No regrets as I was enjoying the rain! Too lovely to miss.
Now targets--
1) Neolithic Period
2)Akbar Sama's expansion
3)Akhbaar
4)Daily stuff
Naya din, nayi shuruwat! Same targets roll over. Aj karke rahenge! :)
Completed my targets Barring Akbar.
If I get all what I want just sitting, I will never work. Punishment is the way forward. Hence, Will not watch FRANCE vs GERMANY Today. Footy peeps would understand the magnitude of the sacrifice. :((((

Maths differentiability ->done
Current affairs class ->30% done

Ethics ->2 answers done
I have to say. This was a highly wasteful day. I could have done double of what I ended up doing. It helped that my targets were really small so it looks like a productive day. I think it will take a couple more days to get back into the groove.
Also your messages are inspiring. However, at the risk of sounding evil, I kinda love the 'unproductive days' wale comments more. It makes me feel human and normal.
Earlier, I always expected perfection from myself with the inevitable guilt, shame and anger when that didn't materialise. Mostly it was because I had this image of toppers studying 12-16 hours a day, 7 days a week. But now I realise how foolish I was. So it's lovely to see people here showing how normal they are and also owning their bad days. Kudos!
Now I'm gonna go watch France vs Germany. Been looking forward to this game for quite a while now.
Went quite off track in past two days. I was living without pretty much everything except telegram to keep distractions at bay. Mood swings got me to install bumble and activated my insta account. Completely lost sense of preparation mood tab. Back in the business now. :)
A friend called up to remind my target of attempting mains 2020 paper as simulation in feb. Massive guilt trip. Starting with ethics vision test, I'm hopeful of writing that in July mid. Let's see.
Good morning folks. Targets for today:
World history
PSIR- notes for organisations+ UN
Editorial- IE and Hindu
Daily C/A
AWP
Writing with my right hand
Why do my PSIR targets seem to be the ones I end up missing? It’s not like I don’t enjoy the subject, or that I’ve achieved particular mastery over it and yet I seem to skip it in lazy days. Might journal about that sometime. Did an hour of CSAT as punishment (maths and I don’t get along, it’s pretty much torture at this point). Winding down for bed as I’m trying to turn into an early bird. We’ll see how long that lasts.
Baki sb kr liya ??
Yeah, for the most part for the last one week I’ve been able to complete all but one, which should make me happy. But I know that the reason I miss that target is because of distractions and not because I’m overachieving. C’est la vie
