I am thinking of all the UPSC Aspirants

That how distracted they might be

I can’t stop looking at the news (well, that to a great extent is my job, yet…)

The headlines are becoming louder
They are changing every moment

It is becoming crazy difficult to concentrate

And I can’t stop thinking that pre is just 18 days away

But, I just want to remind you that in these moments of sustained distress, return to routine

Not the perfect routine that there could be
Just some consistency

Revise through videos if that helps
Solve mocks (if not completely then go for partial)
Attend marathon lectures (we have put a lot on our channel)
Go for things that keep you closer to study and help you avoid doom scrolling

Just remember that we don’t control the world, we can only control our focus
And videos won’t just inform you, they’ll protect you from distractions

Always remember:

“India needs civil servants who stay focused even when the nation is shook”

And always remember,
You are that resilience 🙏
