1.Start Slow, Start Small
<\/strong>Don\u2019t set impossible targets for day 1, that\u2019s just setting yourself up for failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re going to be studying for atleast one year, if not more during UPSC prep. Don\u2019t be a in a rush. If you think you can just wake up one day and start studying for 10 hours then let me just stop you now. There are a few people who are capable of doing that, but the rest of us mortals need to build up to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start like this:
Week 1 – 2 hours daily study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 2 – 4 hours daily study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 3 – 6 hours daily study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 4 – 8 hours daily study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will start with something achievable and without realising you will be studying 8 hours a day in a month\u2019s time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dont be in a Rush. Take is slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Study EVERYDAY.<\/strong>
    Study everyday. Even if for 30 Minute.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    We all feel like taking breaks every now and then. Nothing wrong with it. But don\u2019t give in to the first impulse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That starts you down the path of laziness, let me show you how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cue: You sit to study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Craving: You feel like taking a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Response: You watch youtube for 30-Minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Reward: Cheap dopamine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is how habits are formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now every time you sit to study, you will want to watch some youtube videos and that\u2019s not going to get you anywhere in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What can you do about it?
    Every time you think of break give short target of 30 min or 4 pages quickly complete it and then you go .
    90% of the time, you will end up completing the whole task. Provided you learn to ignore the first impulse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Take a break on your terms, not on impulse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Use Schedules<\/strong>
      We are creatures of habit and schedules <\/a>are a great way to build consistency.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      The more you can automate your day the better. This way you don\u2019t have to think about doing things but are just doing them one after the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A simple practice:
      Wake, sleep and study everyday at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. First Plan Your Breaks<\/strong>
        We start procrastinating when we keep working without breaks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        We all need breaks, we\u2019re humans after all, not machines. Also, downtime helps you recover from fatigue & lets you play with new ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        So when you plan, schedule your breaks first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        For example:
        While creating a daily time table, I would fix my free time first. (2-3 PM and 6-7 PM)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Only after deciding that I filled the rest of the day with study targets. So going into the day, I know where my breaks are, I don\u2019t have to repeatedly think about when can I take a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Be Patient.<\/strong>
          To clear           UPSC<\/a>, you will need to grow and become an Officer. This is not growing in height, but in character and personality.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          And growth doesn’t happen over night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Have patience and keep building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Image
          When we\u2019re at those plateaus, we REALLY want to take breaks.
          If you hit plateaus don\u2019t break consistency. Find ways to push through those limits. Test scores not going up? Read the material twice before the next test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Don’t give up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Motivate-Yourself<\/strong>
            JUST DO IT!. Brilliant idea. Why didn\u2019t I think of this before?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Motivation doesn\u2019t last long. Generic motivation messages can help but they can only do so much. We need to look at motivation in a structured manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Who knows what motivates you best? YOU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Find ways to motivate yourself. Be it exercise, talking to friends and family, or simply watching some feel good movie\/series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Find out what works for you and then make it a part of your daily routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Don\u2019t Stop believing in yourself<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Trust yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            That you have what it takes.
            That you will do what is needed.
            That you will show up everyday.
            That you will grow from each challenge.
            And you will become unstoppable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
