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

guys please help.... I am confused..... After failing in 2021 (1st attempt) I am thinking to come back completely prepared and strong in 2023 and skip this 2022 cycle..... Bcoz I have not done my optional very well and have not practiced answer writing..... If one suggests me to give this 2022 attempt then what strategy should I adopt? Please help

After a lot of thinking, I have come up with some strategy which would work for me, as I really needed something called a 'strategy' to get myself back to work. I have always been someone who used to put some good number of hours , but then these 2 months haven't been good with respect to putting good number of hours, but work was anyhow done. 

Now I want to focus both on work and the number of hours I put. I don't know If I will be able to stick but just as a new year resolution kind of thing I might just try my best to follow. 

Targets - 

1. Mains - Leftover topics 

2. CA class + others 

3. Miscellaneous

Where are others who used to put their targets regularly? Do post targets peepul :)

Good day everyone :) 

Completed - CA Class(took hugggeee chunk time) + Mains topics done ( 2) + newspaper + Some miscellaneous stuff.

Targets for tomarrow :

1. CA class backlog - 2 and half 

2. Mains topics - Try finishing all peripheral ones

3. Prelims Preparation 

Can't explain how I am feeling right now. This is the last day of the year, it wasn't a good year as I had planned, but it taught me so many lessons which in hindsight I think were neccessary. You can't always succeed in life in whatever you do, sometimes you do need some failures to understand the cruel reality of this world. 

This was the year I understood about importance of mental health, support system that you require in this journey, care that one must take of oneself, how impt it is to indulge in what you like to remain sane and most importantly to live life. 

I am just wishing the coming year brings happiness to all of us, we all get what we desire, keep ourselves happy and live life :) 

Good day everyone! 



Date : 01/01/2022 

So we are officially into 2022 now. And so the race for prelims 2022 begins, rise and run comrades and achieves whatever you aimed for. 

It was a satisfactory day, not a good study day. I was not in a mood at all to do more study as it was last day of the year and had spent some time with family. 

Completed - Mains + Newspaper ONLY! 

Today - 

1. PSIR 

2. Prelims ( history 8,12) + May 

3. CA classes + Miscell 

Have a great year everyone! And a great day as well.

In the beginning of 2021 i found myself very anxious and very unsure of the whole exam process, but by the end of it I found myself more confident, more clear and overall in a much better position than a year ago.

I start the first day of 2022 with a lot of hope and faith. May this year brings a lot of joy to all our lives and may we all inch closer to our dreams.

On that note, today's Targets-

1. Optional- OT,FM, Tax

2. CA compilation

3. GS3 note making

4. Ethics

Checking in after a looong time, glad to see people working hard. Being greeted by @Rashmirathi's beautiful lines is always a treat. Change of year always calls for an introspection.


My only resolution this year is to do justice to myself. This will be my 3rd and probably last attempt for a while. Hope to atleast experience mains and interview this time.


Have found over the last 2-3 months that daily targets are not my thing and I do better with weekly/monthly targets. Will post monthly targets for now and come back in Feb to see how I did.


Targets for January - 

  1. Modern History complete revision + sectional mocks + PYQs (10 days) 
  2. Polity complete revision + sectional mocks + PYQs (15 days) 
  3. Governance, Social Issues, Society (5 days) 
  4. Jan - June 2021 CA (daily) 
  5. Newspaper (without fail) 


Keep grindin' folks, it's the only way!

1. PSIR - Topic complete ( notes + 2nd topic little) 

2. History - repeat

I have to increase my speed of doing things. 

Good luck people!
