6 ideas to help your build your consistency (like a UPSC topper):
1. Start Slow, Start Small
If your plan means you give 110% everyday, you're going to fail, sooner rather than later.
Start with small targets & build momentum.
TIP: start with studying 4 hours everyday. Increase that to 6 next week, & then 8 the week after.

2. Show Up, EVERYDAY.
You don't need to study 10 hours everyday.
But you need to study everyday.
TIP: Every time you feel like taking a break, set yourself a short task before you get up. Ex: letβs study just 1 page, or 5 mins. 90% of the time you'll end up doing the full task.

3. Use Schedules
We are creatures of habit and schedules are a great way to build consistency.
TIP: Wake, sleep and study everyday at the same time.

4. First Plan Your Breaks
We start procrastinating when we keep working without breaks.
But when you plan your break time first, you give yourself clarity that this time free by design.
For example: In my day 6-9AM, 2-3 PM & 6-7 PM would be free. NO STUDY ALLOWED.

5. Be Patient
Progress is not a smooth ride. It is bumpy and there are downturns. Learn to be patient when things don't make sense.

6. Motivate Yourself
JUST DO IT!
Brilliant idea. Why didnβt I think of this before?
Generic motivation messages can help but they can only do so much. We need to look at motivation in a structured manner.
Who knows what motivates you best? YOU.
