Some more topics with little to no relevance(c elegans, satcom specrum, z morh) or already covered in basics(demography)

Today took even lesser than 25mins to skim and analyse.

If you orient yourself in line with PYQs, won’t take you longer than this to read one daily. If you notice carefully, this is the extent of the relevance of newspaper.

Can start reading on these lines or refer my YT playlist on this topic for further illustrations.

Second and third PYQ mapping must be available soon, Polity and Econ.

Throat is still not at optimum but decided to go ahead so we give you enough time to revise.

English Grammar will be up next.

Only relevant article today. Also, most of its way forward is copy paste of existing UNFCCC CoP. Seeing these patterns and minimising burden on your memory, is the real art of Sherlocking.

Even newspaper economy is surviving on UPSC हौवा, else relevant news is hard to find.

Good for us, should not take more than 20mins to skim.

Handling Emotions during UPSC Preparation

The UPSC journey can be emotionally challenging, and managing your mental state is just as important as your studies. Here’s how to address common feelings you may encounter:

Tired: Nap to recharge.
It rejuvenates your mind, so you can come back stronger. Just ensure the nap happens prior to 3PM.

Feeling Sad: Listen to music.
It engages your emotions and can instantly alter your mental state.
One of my goto song:

Stressed: Go for a walk.
It refreshes your mind with new energy. I like to so much so that it featured as a hobby on my DAF:

Burnt Out: Read something inspiring.
Reading offers perspective and reminds you why you started.
One of all time fav recommendation that should be made compulsory even for kids is ‘Animal Farm’.

Feeling Lost: Pray or reflect.
It grounds you and reinforces faith in your path. Hence our Tuesday Spirituality sessions on @LIFE_neil

Overthinking: Write it down.
Writing organizes thoughts, making them feel less overwhelming. That’s where journaling comes into picture!

Taking care of your emotional well-being is key to sustaining your UPSC preparation. Use these strategies to keep yourself balanced and focused on your goal.
