Gear up for tomorrow.
Let go of today : the missed opportunities, unfinished answers and missing key points which you couldn't write due to exam pressure will keep popping up in your thoughts.
Summon all the mental strength you have and revise for tomorrow. Especially GS3.
Found an old pic. This was my phase of manifestation :)
For the upcoming mains junta :
This the phase where few of you might face a sudden burnout, fatigue and collapse of motivation.
It's like hitting a dead end. You had been following a decent routine but loose direction all of a sudden.
It is common. Happens with a lot of us.
The workaround is not easy either.
You got to rethink about the reasons of choosing to appear in this exam. The hardships you crossed to get a ticket to mains. The sheer amount of hardwork you put in for prelims.
There is not a moment to waste. Ponder upon the past, look forward to the future, manifest and come back to the game. These weeks leading up to mains will be the most crucial juncture of the entire story. The pivot.
This examination tests mental fortitude most amongst others. This is the time to conquer the journey and emerge victorious.
Good luck fellas.
This post is not intended to create fomo at all. There are enough substitutes to magazines and test series.
For those who are writing mains : this should least bother you. Static content makes the different. Let this not affect your momentum by even a fraction.
This phase in the cycle of upcoming mains examination is closest to the so called 'valley of death'.
These few weeks will be the differentiator.
The ones who panic, give up or unable to focus on their work due to anxiety : please remember that this is the the biggest challenge. If you persevere, hustle and keep moving forward everyday, victory shall be yours.
Give the next few days the best shot possible at mains. Maximum efforts. No half measures, no excuses.
This is the phase of 'peaking' in your prep.
Absolutely.
Good luck fellas. Keep the Josh high!!
Almost halfway mark for upcoming mains.
Ideally, the notes making phase should be over for GS and optional. The time now should be spend on
Answer writing, feedback and improvement
PYQ analysis, brainstorming
Notes updating (CA/value addition)
(in that order).
Write more, read less now.
If anything is left, finish it on priority.
Post your doubts here.
A lot going on around Delhi and the nation. I hope you all keep your focus on your mains.
It is easy to get distracted. Although the issues are relevant and it is tempting to get involved in debates and discussions, I'd request you not to.
Feel free to vent out and discuss issues here, if any.
Mains junta : post your doubts here.
The next 50 days are kinda life defining so please put your level best!!
