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

Fine .. after seeing targets being posted for nearly a year or so.. here is mine.


Sole reason to do this, at least for a trial basis, is to see if I am able to be accountable to a community of strangers, striving for something similar. Without further ado: 

  1. Governance portion common to Ethics and GS2
  2. Indian Express
  3. Bose Einstein Statistics- Theory
  4. Answer writing

I think the primary purpose of that column is to identify the eligibility for forest exam since only science graduates are eligible for that. Other than that, it won't matter much about what subjects you put in it. Your degree and other details about the course would be asked in DAF1 which would be filled before mains.
So you can fill whatever looks the most relevant to you without any worry.

Some bits of theory are left, I'll do them tomorrow. Rest all done. Productivity and focus are lower than what they should be but can't complain because there has been some progress. 


Targets: 

  1. SFG: Test + Analysis 
  2. SFG Theory Backlog - Geography 
  3. SFG Prep - Ancient 
  4. Test Analysis 
  5. Newspaper 
  6. If time, finish SFG Test Analysis backlog 


Didn't think I'd miss Saturday so soon. A 5 day SFG phase 2 would give us all a lot of breathing space!
