Today was my rest day. I watched a movie called"Just Mercy"based on a real incident. This is the best movie i have watched this year. It is about justice, human rights , racism, and legal aid to poors. Attaching two quotes of the lawyer on whom this movie is made.

27-31:

Spectrum done

Sfg tests

CLAT/SAU LLM mocks

Factly/Hindu

Feb-march factly

Old sfg (modern history/CA)

This week was not good. I wasted most of the day and quickly revised spectrum late in night (upto 3-4 am). Initially it was just inefficiency, later engaged in unproductive activities (YT/twitter). Could have finished pending mains/LLM stuff.

Managed 5-6 hrs. On normal days too I seldom cross 7 hrs (which must be increased since August is here), but this routine messes up my physical & mental health. Will try shifting to 12-6 am sleep cycle.

1^stAug:

CLAT mock 2, revise old one, Research Methodology basics, constitution notes, polity CA, CA (mains) classes & articles, SCC online monthly.

I know itna sab nahi ho payega, but I feel what also affected my efficiency this week was I solely shifted to SFG/spectrum and didn’t keep a list ready to switch after completing daily sfg syllabus. So, I’ll keep long lists with some items as top priority & must-do-today and will try to do some of the other items as well.

How Democracies Die is a really nice read! It's a bit too US centric though, isn't it? However, some points like majoritarianism, lack of credible opposition, erosion of institutional values, erosion of democratic values are directly applicable in India today.
