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

Have been going through a bad phase these last few days, miss November when I would be able to study well without any distractions due to the post prelims rage. Now, I'm back where I was last year with prelims coming at a seemingly faster rate than what I had expected. Need some discipline back in life and what better place than this thread. Going to start slow but need to pick up pace by 1st April. 


Targets: 

  • Finish Economy 
  • Environment PYQs (30) 
  • Newspaper 
  • IF all done, Mock Test


Also, thanks for everyone who wakes me up. Really appreciate it. 


All the best everyone, hope we all do justice to the goals that we've set out for ourselves! :D

Good morning people! 

I did all the targets except PYQs. I attempted them but yet to finish the analysis. Having a late start to the day after a long time, long way to go to build discipline. 


Targets: 

  • Environment PYQs analysis 
  • Agri Bodies 
  • Newspaper 
  • Eco Test + Analysis
  • If time, Budget test 

Bad day. Almost didn't do anything except newspaper and giving the test. 


Targets: 

  • Env PYQ - Must do
  • Test 1 Analysis 
  • Eco: Test 2 + Analysis 
  • Newspaper 
  • Mapping - EN IG (1/3) 

Analysing some tests takes forever for me, couldn't finish it today and hence couldn't give the other test either. Rest all done. 


Targets: 

  • Env PYQs 
  • Finish Test 1 Analysis 
  • Eco - Revise Test Tidbits 
  • Newspaper 
  • Mapping - EN IG (2/3) 
  • If time, Test 2 + Analysis

I'm unable to understand how has M0 and M3 been calculated from given data. I hope someone can help here.

I'm unable to understand how has M0 and M3 been calculated from given data. I hope someone can help here.

@crypto7 , the data is giving growth rate of M0 and M3, not its absolute value.  So all the data points in the table reflect percentage change in respective value from the previous year

@crypto7 it indicates growth percentage from previous year. 

The methods of calculating Mo and M1 haven’t been used here, I think.

Hi

can anyone tell me what were the sources of last year’s environmental questions like Fern/mosses, diatoms, hedgehog, magnetite, filter feeder, symbiotic relationship etc? While I was able to answer most of them using general knowledge + elimination + common sense, I want to know if there’s any specific source that upsc probably picked them from? Or any source that I should cover on my part?

I don’t want to rely on general knowledge again in this gamble of an exam, especially because I’m not from a science background.
