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

@Muffin he had mentioned taking leave on the account of newspapers not publishing diwali issues and earlier he mentioned not posting everyday and only doing so when "enough maal ikattha ho jayega tab" :)

Could not study for the last several days. Shifted from Delhi to my hometown and the house is getting renovated. Will try to accomplish something today.
Targets:
1. Glance over CA of last 10 days.
2. Review of last IR Test.
3. Start something for the next philosophy test.
1. Done
2. Not done
3. Not done
Too many people at home and too many things happening. Still I need to take out time wherever possible and do as much as possible.
Today's targets:
1. Review IR test.
2. Prepare for ethics test.
3. Prepare Moore and Russell.
1. Done
2. Not done
3. Partially done
I should make my targets more specific and more realistic. Today’s target:
1. Current affairs
2. CA class 6th november
3. Review ethics topper copies
4. Philosophy test question no. 1 (at least partially)
Not much done. Fell sick. With the house getting renovated, and my sisters marriage on 21st, there is little scope for studying. Better to have small and achievable targets than something too ambitious. Today's targets:
1. Current affairs of last few days that I missed.
2. Finish 6th november class.

10/11/21 Day#12~targets: (a) The Hindu(done) (b) GS-4(attitude) notes (c) socio (maximum damage) (d) bonus quest: issues brainstorming or writing
Took3 hoursto write the definition of attitude. Why? I had more than 10 sources for ethics open before me.It was paralysing :/ Perfect is the enemy of good. Last time I did the same mistake about 6 months ago when I took a whole day to write the definition of 'value'. This is the surest way of ensuring failure. At the root is fear, the fear of making substandard notes or writing substandard answers. But I have to accept that my first answers won't be perfect, my first draft of notes won't be perfect. And they might never be. Asa I accept this the better. It's almost foolish to do this, to put oneself at a disadvantage. Self-sabotage.😤
Targets for tomorrow after chhath puja ends in the morning and I feast on the thekuas to be probably followed by a big fat nap. Will tap into beast mode after that. 🦉
A newbie in the house! Posting for the first time.
Targets for *10th November 2021*
# Anthro 2 lectures
# Mrunal 2 lectures
# Daily Current Affairs
Keeping it simple as of now. Good Luck for the day!
I underestimated the targets a bit.
Done with everything except Mrunal sir's one lecture.
Had to ditch him because of being too tired at the day end. Will meet him again tomorrow.
Good day today. Tried to make up for the lost time and productivity from yesterday.
Did few topics of optional and awp, revised half of env notes, almost 1/3rd of sept monthly.
Targets for 10th Nov-
1. Newspaper backlogs
2. Revise rest of env notes + update
3. Optional IL subtopics revise and awp; notemaking of prev topics
Controlling the urge of being overambitious and stuffing up additional targets. Let's see how the day goes.
Decent day.
1. Done
2. Almost done. Some small bits remain
3.couldn't do awp, but did the note making. Will cover up some more before crashing.
4. Additionally did quite a bit of sept monthly.

Finished the maths portion but slacked off a little in Society. Will need a little time to get back to mains GS it seems. Will be analysing the PYQs to set the tone for Society before I go to sleep.
Targets:
- Maths Optional Test
- Maths Test Analysis
- If time permits, finish off today's leftover GS1 portion (1/4)
Finished the first two targets, not enough time to do Society. That'll continue tomorrow. Will revise LPP theory before I go to sleep.
Oh and also, as if prelims 2021 wasn't enough already, my silly mistakes have come back to haunt me. Maths this time!
Targets:
- Finish LPP
- Society (2/4)
Very unproductive day today. Did sit for a certain amount of hours but couldn't finish either of the two targets. Timelines are rigid, need to buckle up. First bad day after the prelims setback.
Same targets repeat.
Good day. The real challenge is to sustain this, fingers crossed! Both targets accomplished.
Targets:
- Society (3/4)
- Real Analysis Theory
- Brush up maps, definitions for upcoming GS test
I might ditch maths tomorrow and finish Society once and for all. Let's see what mood the morning brings. Have a good day, people!
Not so productive in the last two days.
Targets completed on 9-11-21:
1) Daily CA + Newspaper + Perspective
2) One ethics lecture + One PSIR lecture
3) 20 pages of PSIR + 10pages of NCERT + prelims 2021 Polity and History analysis
Targets completed on 10-11-21:
1) Daily CA + Newspaper
2) 20 pages of ethics
3) One hour brainstorming/answer writing ethics session
Should have done better today.
On the bright side New Zealand beat England in the semis, hope they win the cup this time after losing the finals in 15 and 19.
With 34 required of the last 3 overs, Daryl Mitchell (NZ batsman) refused to run a double as he had gotten in the way Adil Rashid (the bowler) and prevented him from fielding the ball. In a world cup semi, in a crunch situation I would have probably taken that double. That was some top tier GS-4 stuff right there!
Losing the consistency after prelims result. Going to post here from now on
Targets for 9th Nov
- Ethics notemaking
- Linear Algebra(1/3)
- History Questions-4
- Newspaper
