The Final Lap (Last week before CSE Mains) John Steinbeck writes in the Classic - East of Eden, “And now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.” This comes at a time when Abra is struggling with the burden of being an idealised version of herself. I think there is a lesson here for Mains. At this point, DO NOT idealise your preparation. Don’t get stuck in the guilt loop: “Prelims ke baad time waste kar diya..Galat Strategy follow kar liya..I could have done better..Next year Pakka Acche se..”😅 I have spoken to Many Mains-appearing candidates in the last few days. Different preparation, different problems-but almost everyone is feeling the heat. So, here is what you got to do- ✅ Stop comparing your preparation with an imaginary version of yourself. Don’t try to remember every committee, report, data or every example you have read. ✅ Perfectionism is a terrible last-week strategy. Play your strengths. Just Manage your weaknesses. Don’t negotiate with both equally. ✅ The final week is all about removing the noise between what you know and what you can actually put on paper. So, Don’t burden yourself to be “perfect”. Just be “good”, in the last week. Revise GS, Brainstorm Essay and Scribble Few Points to be in that writing zone. Trust me, “It always seems impossible, untill it’s done.” So, just manage yourself in the last week.🙂 P.S - Mains Appearing candidates can DM me here @hobbesleviathan Also, We are trying to come up with Probable Questions based on PYQ theme of GS-2 and GS-3. 👉🏻 GS-1 document is here 👉🏻 For Current Affairs docs Thankyou.🙂 @darkhorsecse
