Ascent-Managing missed targets

It goes without saying that in the long phase of preparation, a few days we may have some other compulsions to attend to, other than the study targets or just things won't go as we want them. And the mind directs us to go back to books, complete the targets and that doesn't seem to happen even after efforts. Guilt creeps in. Neither are we fully participative in the moment nor do we progress on our targets.

What next?

Go back to your planner. If you don't have one it is advisable to make it. Make the equations in the pages itself.

For example,
On monday if I had to write 4 to 5 answers as a routine and give a reading to India's  freedom struggle and due to some reasons this is missed, I tried to increase study time the next day and complete the left over targets in parts, allotting some time throughout the week without compromising on the next day's targets.

But it isn't so mechanical. After efforts also things skipped, but I kept track on them by marking in the planner itself and planned the next targets accordingly. And if things went really out of control I took a day or two to complete the past targets and then move on to newer targets. It is about how you manage according to situations.

Having a tentative macro plan till the date of the examination and trying to reach there by weekly or monthly targets will help define the steps to be taken, bit by bit and keep oneself on a constant self vigil.

Be honest with yourself.

I hope this helps. All the best.
