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

The past two days were rather slow for me, i picked up new topics which took more time to complete hence wasn't able to do optional.

Today's Targets-

1. Optional- FM, OT

2. Ethics

3. IR- notes

4. Art and Culture

5. CA

PS- One of my close friends was on a trip to UAE for New Year and unfortunately her covid test returned positive on the day she was to return. Now she is stuck in a foreign country for the time not specified and with no help whatsoever. Take care guys, winter is here and so is Omicron. Hope and pray India remains immune to the third wave.

Hey everyone, just wanted to know if everyone has switched to prelims mode or still pushing on with mains topics for now. I came across @Neyawn Sir's post a while back about devoting at least 4-5 months specifically for prelims especially for those who haven't yet cleared prelims yet. Was wondering what everyone's views are, especially those who have cleared prelims in the past. How much time did you devote specifically for prelims?

@dwightschrute Hi.. I cleared prelims in 2018 and 2020 and failed in 2019. The reason I did not qualify in 2019 was because I failed to give prelims the respect it deserves. Prepared maybe for 2 months or so for prelims in 2019 and in that too did some mains reading.

In 2020 I corrected this approach and prepared for prelims for good 3 months.. while in the first month I did some mains portion for 2-3 hours everyday, the last 2 months were exclusively for prelims. Also because the exam was delayed in 2020, March and April was also devoted to prelims and hence I didn't feel the need to study for prelims exclusively for 3 months or more.. but for anyone who is writing prelims the first time or hasn't cleared pre in previous attempt, 5 months before exam one should start preparing for prelims with 3-3.5 months exclusively for prelims.
