CSE 2022: Plan/ Strategy/ Daily Routine

This is an everything thread for all stuff 2022. You can post your daily goals, end-of-the-day updates, weekly targets or any weird thing you use to measure your progress. You can put into words & post the soul-sucking sadness that is threatening to devour you & your productivity. You can write what made your day & let others experience the happiness too, at least vicariously. This is a thread to pick each other up. This is a thread to keep each other accountable. This is a no-judgement zone.

--------

“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.”

— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Targets for the day:

  • SFG: Test + Analysis
  • S&T Backlog
  • SFG Prep - Environment
  • Newspaper
Keeping things light for a few days. Will pick up pace soon.

Except S&T Backlog, did all. Pushing this to the post SFG week now along with all other backlogs. 


Targets: 

  • SFG: Test + Analysis 
  • Mock Test Analysis 
  • SFG Prep - Environment 
  • Newspaper 
  • If time, Modern History Revision 

Realised that there was a lot of content to be covered for the SFG test today and so I could only do 25% of the test analysis. Could not finish the course for today's test either :/


Targets: 

  • SFG: Test + Analysis 
  • Finish Mock Test Analysis 
  • SFG Prep - Environment 
  • Newspaper 
  • If time, finish today's leftovers

Spent a lot of time on following the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Couldn't do mock test analysis or go back to backlogs. Would really appreciate book recommendations on Soviet dissolution!


Targets: 

  • SFG: Test + Analysis (done) 
  • Newspaper (done) 
  • Finish Mock Test Analysis

Worst study day! Schedule change impacted my productivity, I felt a lot more tired and unwilling to study. But I am not willing to let these initial days of unproductivity impact by decision and hence would continue this morning schedule.

Ego is a bubble. Instead of bursting it and seeing what all lies outside,

we invest most of our energy protecting it.

Yesterday all targets were completed as I put small targets, contrary to what my ego desired.

Geography 3/10
