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

@sjerngal Sharing a drawing as promised. Have a good day, everyone :)


Wow,

can you tell what you used to draw? Oil pastels? 

Now you have motivated me to draw. 

Hey, the medium is soft pastels. It is difficult to blend oil pastels. You can still try with oil pastels too. There are some ways to blend the colours which require some effort though.

I myself was lacking the motivation to draw, good to know that I have motivated you in this way. Will wait for your drawing then! 😄

Wow, it's great! I thought it was a digital painting @_@

Yesterday finished all targets. Thought I'd reward myself with Barca vs Napoli. Sadly, the players had other plans. Glorious chances wasted. :(

Targets for today:

1) Real Analysis and Calculus (80Q) 

2) Economic Survey (1/7)

3) Newspaper 

Have a great day peeps!! 


1) only 40% done. 2 and 3 done 

Setting up too ambitious targets proved to be disastrous. Had anxiety issues towards the end. So going to tread lightly for the time being. At this moment, consistency over intensity. 

Targets for today:

1) Real Analysis and Calculus (30Q)

2) Interview Prep 

3) Newspaper
