Supercharge your UPSC Current Affairs preparation with this amazing session by Dimple ma’am. Current Affairs is made wholesome, integrated, and minimalistic.

Have you just started prep for UPSC 2024? Aspirants, especially those who have just begun their journey, face numerous challenges when it comes to current affairs preparation.

With countless resources like newspapers, magazines, and online materials to sift through, it becomes overwhelming to decide what to read and what to leave out.

Aspirants often end up spending hours every day on current affairs coverage, only to realize that much of what they’ve studied may not even be relevant to the exam. This inefficient and time-consuming approach steals precious hours that could have been invested in GS static preparation or optional subjects.

To tackle these issues and streamline your current affairs preparation, Senior IAS Faculty, Dimple Chouhan ma’am will be conducting a live strategy webinar.

She understands that implementing an effective and minimalistic approach to current affairs is easier said than done. In her session, Dimple will reveal her topper’s strategy for UPSC current affairs 2023-24, which is wholesome, integrated, and minimalistic.

Setting new goals is easy. Beginning with a fresh dose of motivation is also easy. What’s not easy? Staying consistent with your daily routines and daily targets. That’s the part where we wish we had some practical, life-saving hacks.

Hasn’t it happened to all of us?

We binge-watch IAS toppers on Youtube on how they kept up for 25 hours, 9 days a week, or create multiple copies of their timetable only to find ourselves lost again. Worse still, we look up to our peers on their best days of preparation and compare our worst, most unproductive days, and genuinely feel a sense of loss.

This has happened to all of us. To 100% of the IAS Toppers as well. Trust us, we have mentored 10,000+ students on their IAS journey since 2016 and know their most honest, sincere struggle moments.

We sit back with our IAS toppers, request them to reflect back on their moments of uncertainties and probe them for practical hacks and tips for future aspirants.

Here are the top 3 helpful pointers to help you when the going gets tough:

1. Utilize the power of accountability (works 95% of the time)

Oftentimes, our mind makes the dumbest of excuses to get ourselves out of a task that we should, but don’t want to. And that is why you should OUTSOURCE accountability to other people.

It could be someone you think highly of, and they won’t let you divert from your goals. You need to be accountable to not yourself, but to that person for the completion of a specific task.

Confessing your inaction to someone else brings much more psychological pain, and hence you’ll be compelled to complete that task.

CivilsDaily’s personal mentors are the perfect guide for such cases. They have been mentoring these 10,000+ aspirants and rankers and are very well aware of the power of consistency.

2. Keep your focus on one thing at a time (works 80% of the time)

Staying consistent becomes all the way more cumbersome if you have too much on your plate. Your mind is already struggling with trying to muster up the courage to complete something, and then you burden it with additional tasks. This ends up delaying both tasks rather.

We know that this is easier said than done. It works for very self-driven students but with some external help, and mentor-driven accountability, about 80% of aspirants are able to pick it up.

Our mentors’ expertise will help you strive through this tough, but rewarding journey.

3. Avoid paralysis by analysis (works 55% of the time)

It’s the human tendency to expect results even before any solid efforts have been made. Your primary focus should be to do your job, and the results will follow! Follow the right strategy and be patient, because of course, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Though there will be days when you might doubt yourself or even the achievability of the task, it’s your duty to not buy those negative thoughts.

However, if in spite of prolonged efforts, results fail to show up, then you can always get on a quick call with one of our mentors and scrutinize your approach. This will help you channel your efforts in the right direction.
