@dalpha Could revise only first two chapters of economy and after that there was a huge drama at home though not related to me but i had to get involved unwillingly. Things seems to be settled as of now. Have asked my family with folded hands to cooperate for a month at least. Let's hope everything goes well.
Will try to complete economy tomorrow.

Day 2: 31st Aug 2020

Effective study time: around 6.25 hrs

Tasks completed: 25% economy revision. Though i was planning to revise whole economy in a day but seems like that's not working because (a) economy is my Achilles heel so revising it is taking time (b) trying to get out of emotional turmoil because of issues at home (c) doing one thing in whole day is a bad idea, from tomorrow i'll try to diversify: either 2 static subjects a day or one subject's static and other subject's current; plus csat and gs mcq practice. 

Now before sleeping i'll read newspaper and will update my tasks for tomorrow in the morning.

Couldn't do anything today. Was feeling unwell. Will resume from tomorrow morning.

By the way guys i have one doubt if anyone could help: is it necessary to cover mrunal's lectures or his handouts for pre bcz i asked on telegram and people were like ki you must do mrunal at all costs etc? I tried doing it but i felt too much info overload. Previously i did ncerts, shankar ganesh key concepts, newspaper, survey and budget and vivek singh eco 500 questions and trying to revise the same but sometimes here and there i feel little troubled so thought of picking up mrunal but it is only giving me headache. so please suggest me if i should do it now when time is so less? or i should focus on my previous sources only and will they be sufficient for pre ?

If not touched yet, Keep Revising Previous sources. IMO 
Otherwise it will take your 4-5 Days, Opportunity Cost of it will be higher. 

okay thanks for your input. Will revise whatever i've already done.

Day 4: 2nd Sept 2020

Targets:

1.) Economy Revision (stuck with it since past few days, will try to complete it by tomorrow at any cost)

2.) S&T basics revision and CA

3.) Economy and S&T PYQs

3.1k views

3rd and 4th Sept update: 70% economy revision done. Would have finished the whole thing but had to help my mother with online training so half day went in that. Couldn't do anything else.

Hoping to finish economy tomorrow and then all its test papers revision by day after tomorrow. Hopefully other subjects won't take this much time. 

Target for 5th Sept 2020:

1.) Complete Economy revision.

2.) PYQs of remaining sections of Economy.

3.) Will decide what else to do tomorrow as per availability of time. 

There's so much disturbance at home that's why i'm going too slow. But hoping to finish all subjects' static and current revision by 25th Sept.

@dalpha 

The source you mentioned is good enough dont go for mrunal now and re revise that source only and have faith on them

No doubt Mrunal is good but its contain hell lots of info this is the reason the content is 600 pages coz he covered each and every thing (some time unnecessary too)

I am also doing Mrunal but selective 

@Raillife 

Okay thanks a lot for your response. You are right. Now i'm revising the sources i covered previously and that too is taking good amount of time. so not thinking about mrunal or anything else now.

@dalphaJust wondering what topics are good fromMrunal? I am aiming for 2021.


For 2021 it's better if you read full. As i said before i didn't get time to do mrunal, i tried doing it but because of its bulkiness had to leave it since i'm preparing for 2020. If you also think it is bulky then better watch mrunal videos available on telegram and then revise from his handouts. But first have a look at previous year questions and prepare accordingly.

Update 7th Sept 2020 Morning

Finally done with economy. Now will solve it's questions today and do the current revision.

I'm not updating daily because once i open my laptop then i tend to waste time here and there. So will try to update in 2-3 days.
