#64: 10 things for UPSC pre 2023 as year ends!

Take a note!

1. More is not always better!📚

- Limit your resources
- Limit the people you follow
- Limit the Telegram groups you are in

More is not better! 🤔

2. Stuck or clueless? Seek help!💡🔆

- A genuine call for help is never unanswered
- Value the time of those you are approaching
- Ask targeted questions seeking genuine help!

3. A plan a week leaves you struggling and weak!📝🤒

- Take 2-3 days to fix a 6-8 months plan
- Stick to it with great faith in your abilities
- Avoid switching the plan based on FOMO

Remember: Training is meant to be repetitive, on a purpose!🏋️

4. Track everything⚖️

- Time (Anything you do for more than 15 mins? Track!)
- Sleep (Anything less than 7 or more than 9 hours? Track!)
- Calories (Anything more than your burn rate? Track!)

5. It will be uncomfortable🥴😅

Next 5 months are meant to be aggressive. They will be heavy!
It is a mental battle over anything. Stand your ground!

6. Progressive overload, avoid extremes! 📈

- Yes, you need to put in hours.
- No, you can't shift gears overnight.

Solution? Incremental changes.
- Add 20 mins daily to your study schedule till you reach optimum hrs
- Phase out junk (be it food or social media)

7. Nutrition & Fitness🥗🏃

- Support your body to have it support you
- Your physical health will strengthen your mental health

8. Make hard choices! 🚫❌

- A friend is getting married and requires you to be with them for a week? No
- Out on a break and offered alcohol? No
- Craving cheese burst pizza that slows your mind & body? No

Hard choices, harder returns!

9. Consistency is your sword! ☑️

- Show up every DAY till 28th MAY
- No excuses, no leaves (only strategic breaks)
- And oh, hard choices.
