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

Starting fresh, though I will not be able to study maybe till one week. But after that I want to be regular with some ruthless discipline. I will post here to gain some sense of accountability by trying to accomplish my target before the deadline. 

will be posting broad target/ sectional target / daily study hours/test marks etc. I will rate myself daily on a scale of 0 to 10 (on the basis of my efforts). Most probable will get back to study from 7th Feb.

2.) 15-17 (social issues)

3.) 18-20 (governance)

5.) 24-26 (WH,PI,A&C)

6.) 27-28 (IR & security)

7.) 2-5 (economy)

8.) 6-9 (geography)

9.) Intensive tests.. 10-20

10.) From 21 March (Prelims +Till 3 April daily 3 hours for essay)

11.) After 3 April: only prelims (GS+CSAT+English(as I need to improve this :P))


Apologies for the delay. From today onwards getting back to study.

My broad targets (revised):

1.) Till 21st Feb: Ethics (including 4 test)

2.) 22-24 (social issues)

10.) From 24 March (Prelims +Till 3 April daily 3 hours for essay)
