CSE 2022: Plan/ Strategy/ Daily Routine

| 2 year(s) ago

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 April 24 (day 55)
1. Planning the schedule ahead
2. PSIR - will start book reading for 1A. By now, I feel only optional is left unprepared in mains preparation. Have always done it in crash course mode. Fundamentals maybe lacking.
Wanted to appear in RBI and other regulatory body exams this year, but three days back jkpsc has come up with another notification for 2022. Prelims is due in two months. Exam dates are also clashing. Will stick to jkas.
Past few days had been amazing. Have come back with renewed energy. To a new beginning, cheers. Good luck dostoen : )
Good enough start with high josh.
Reviewing - entire day spent in rearranging n number of pdfs etc

1. icar ao (3/14) - Quant (4), Reasoning (4), GA (2)
2. Pranayama. Leaving Aerobics for a week, little strain in leg muscles.
All the best dostoen, let’s nail this thursday very well.
Pleasant day. Practising quant and reasoning has brought back much needed refreshing energy. After having watched dozens of videos on same, I have realised why my scores in csat have always been 75-80. Old skool.
Targets for April 29 (day 60)
1. icar ao (4/14) - solve 200 Q each on Quant, Reasoning. GA (2)
2. Pranayama, Meditation
Parle Smoodh Coffee Frappe was a good suggestion, thanks.
All the best dostoen : )
Quant and reasoning are more brain engaging exercises than history and economy. Tiresome day.

Targets for April 30 (day 61)
1. icar ao (5/15) - 200 Q each on quant, reasoning
2. pranayama, meditation 2x
Let’s finish off this April very well.
Good luck soldiers, keep the josh high !

1. icar ao (9/14) quant from csat, start GA anyhow
2. meditation, pranayama
Best wishes dostoen : )
Another tiring day. I realised study sessions post sunset were not smooth because of mental fatigue on solving maths in one go. Maths keep mind engaged like none other subject. Another probable reason could be taking an exam as means and not ends.

Good luck dostoen : )

From day after tomorrow, I would ensure no more excuses. Already feeling excited to come back in loop. My ut psc prelims is due on June 26.
