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 last 10 days have made it seem that prep is going in a different direction from where it needs to be. I'm in the process of making some changes right now, going to try to be regular here from now on. Also, need to wrap up a couple of loose ends and start prelims exclusive prep from February. All the best, good people of forum :)

Political fever is on the rise with election season around the corner. Sometimes I get amazed with the level of political awareness people have in general. Opinions I form are usually social media driven or some readings of quality material but people with no access to digital media, amazingly, do know stuff from mere newspaper reading and discussions. Anyway moving to usual chores :D
