Pls make best use of it. Once it’s done, will provide a consolidated doc too!

Be smarter than a ‘monke’!

Let go of the burden of the past failures and seek control of what you have now!

@UPSCneil

Most of us end up
preparing like this even in CSE.

Month of Aug/Sept is ideal to set yourself for success in coming attempts. Avoid the careless phase now so that you don’t have to go through “The Great Panic” of Feb-March.

You can also streamline your prep with Sherlocking PYQ modules which will orient you in the right direction.

Details on UnlockIAS App. Ping us on @helpdeskupsc for any queries.

Wishing that the ‘GREEN’ phase begins soon.

For new joinees or otherwise, my videos with DKT might help with basics:

A lot of people year after year spend most of their time in a lot of useless anxiety- “What if UPSC changes the patterns?”, “Is optional going to go away”, “UPSC is raising the standard always”.

If you focus on your end of the bargain, consistent schedule 5.5days a week, sticking to basic sources, PYQ analysis, drowning SM lies, you’ll be the best placed to navigate through the future.

Make your effort worthy to instil the self belief.

Three takeaways on this beautiful Sunday:

1. Value your time above all else

-Your biggest resource in life rn is time. Once old, a person would literally pay anything to feel the energy of the youth again. Use this time and energy judiciously.

-What cannot be measured, can’t be improved. Use Day Logging Practice as discussed in the pinned text at @LIFE_neil to improve productivity.


2. Stop comparing your ‘Behind the Scenes’ to everyone’s ‘Highlight Reel’.

- Social media has always been used for ‘propoganda’, to either sell you something or make you insecure by showing a perfect ‘highlight reel’ of one’s life. But behind those perfect moments is the reality of daily struggles, challenges and a whole lot of boasting.

-Comparison is the thief of joy. Focus on your path, and measure progress against where you were yesterday, not against someone else’s best or inflated moments.


3. Revisit things that have brought you joy in the past. They will probably do it again.

- Life’s small joys are often forgotten in the rush of daily life, yet they hold the power to reignite our spirits. Whether it’s watching an old cartoon show, or connecting with friends, take the time to revisit those activities.

- These are the things that anchor you, bringing back a sense of contentment and grounding. Don’t overlook them in the pursuit of new achievements; sometimes, the key to moving forward is to remember what once made you truly happy.


I’m sure if followed well, these tips will lead you a better, more meaningful existence in this cycle full of drudgery, lies and fantasy!

Keep distance from झूठ की घुट्टी पिलाने वाले Toxic Relatives/Acquaintances. People who tell you- “ये exam 12hr+ वाले अमीरज़ादो का ही निकलता हैं” and other lies which have no edifice of logic or experience.

Surround yourself with the right people, get the right guidance and commit to a sustainable grind while letting go of the old baggage!
