One of my worst day in months. But I’ll definitely improve. I’ve recognized a pattern and have devised a strategy to overcome it all.
Today, I was feeling way too down for reasons unknown, and that led me to chat with my old companion, ai. I spent entire day talking to it, not even recognizing the whole day is already over. To overcome this stupidity, I’m going to keep my distance from ai. Using phone is currently my compulsion since most of my test series apps are either not availabld or don’t work that well on laptop. And my mind is getting distracted because of that. So, whenevr I have days like this , my mind starts to play tricks and tell me that I should look for release somewhere.
But I should not be too hard on myself. It won’t help. I should just acknowledge that my brain has been trained for years to be addicted to such high levels of dopamine that its not easy to keep it under control, when I’m living with very high stress levels and rigoroua routine. So, I’ll forgive myself and build strategies to overcome such challenges if they arise again in future.

Heyo.
I reckon I’ll take a break from everything today, not because I can’t do them but because maybe doing things without focus and unresolved pain is basically wasting my upcoming days as well.
But, I can still bring the change with whatever few tools I possess. Right now, I have two upcoming examinations in the form of UPPSC and RPF-SI. And I am going to work as hard as I can to crack them. I do not have much attachments in life anymore and thats a good thing, but I need to become more consistent with my studies and not stop until I achieve what I want.
This diary is going to be my witness as I recover completely and become someone on whom, everyone attached to him feels proud of. Hopefully, I can give back to this world something in return for what it has given to me.

30-Day Mayhem Starts from TOMORROW (15/09/2024). I am going to change everything around this time. I have been working very hard for over 5 years now, but during these 30 days, I’m going to become extremely specific with what I am going to focus on. The family pressure is immense, and there are enough of doubters, but I know I’ll win this time.
“The greatest answer and the greatest revenge is INCREDIBLE SUCCESS.”
Here is my structured daily plan :
Morning: Fresh and Focused
- 4:00 – 4:30 AM: Wake up, daily deeds
- 4:30 – 5:30 AM: Geography (UPPSC) – Active learning: create mind maps, diagrams, and quick notes
- 5:50 – 7:20 AM: Polity (UPPSC) – Focus on constitutional articles and bullet-pointed notes
Mid-Morning: Maintain Energy
- 7:30 – 9:00 AM: History (UPPSC) – Use timelines and stories to make connections
- 9:00 – 10:00 AM: Exercise/Running – Physical training to stay fit for RPF-SI and refresh your mind
- 10:00 – 11:30 AM: Rest, food, shower – Recharge fully during this time
Afternoon: High-Energy Study
- 11:30 – 12:30 PM: UPPSC PYP – Practice questions and note down weak areas
- 12:30 – 1:30 PM: Current Affairs Revision – Focus on daily updates and how they relate to the exam syllabus
- 1:30 – 2:30 PM: UPPSC Mock Test – Practice under timed conditions, but alternate days between mocks and analysis
Late Afternoon: RPF-SI Focus
- 2:30 – 3:00 PM: Lunch break, short rest
- 3:00 – 4:30 PM: RPF-SI PYP – Target reasoning, general awareness, and specific areas
- 4:45 – 6:15 PM: RPF-SI Mock Test – Use mock tests to gauge your preparation
Evening: Wind Down with Focus
- 6:15 – 6:45 PM: UP Special (UPPSC) – Focus on UP-specific information
- 6:45 – 7:30 PM: Newspaper Reading – Focus on exam-relevant topics
- 7:30 – 8:30 PM: Revision & Review – Review what you studied earlier, use spaced repetition
Night: Reflect & Relax
- 8:30 – 9:00 PM: Journaling, Dinner, Self-help Book – Unwind, reflect, and improve your mental state
- 9:00 – 10:00 PM: Sleep – Aim for at least 6:30-7 hours of sleep to keep your mind fresh
But I have a history of doing it for 3 weeks and then going numb in the last moment. So, I have devised a few plans and strategies. From today I take vow to practice following things:
- No Internet Surfing, except for 5-10 minutes that I spend here.
- No TeleVision.
- No Music or Cinema, even photos.
- No social media, phone calls or talks.
When am I going to use screen :
- Around 10 am to update here.
- between 11:30 am to 07:30 am for studies.
How to Stick to This Plan Without Fail
- Accountability Partner: Share your plan with a friend or family member. Give them daily updates on your progress. This external accountability helps you stay committed. @debellator will you be my accountability partner, bro?
- Daily Reflection: Use your journaling time to reflect on what you did well and what needs improvement. Focus on progress, not perfection.
- Forgive Yourself for Small Lapses: If you miss a session or fall behind for a day, don’t let it derail your progress. Acknowledge it, adjust, and move forward without feeling guilty.
- Break the 30 Days into Smaller Milestones: Track every 7 days. Reward yourself with small breaks or something enjoyable at the end of each milestone week.

I’ll update here, since whatsapp is a form of social media that I’m going to refrain from for next 30 days.

Thanks bro. Unfortunately, despite trying I couldn’t do everything as intended. Suffered sleep paralysis and nightmare last night because of which I overslept till 06:10. Couldn’t do exercise again. Could only study for 9 hours. And couldn’t study or do many things that I had intended for. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Overslept again. I am having difficulties sleeping every night. May have to do something about it seriously.
Woke up at 6:40.
No exercise.
11 hrs of study, but not everything I had intended for.
Missed affirmations, visualizations, reading self help and exercise out of morning miracle routine. Was 4th day in a row. Have to work on that as well.
Hopefully I’ll wake up earlier tomorrow and become better.

Damn bruh 
, good to see you working and following habits from miracle morning, Miracle morning and deep work are two books that helped me a lot in preparation, even though I was never able to make the habit of waking up too early but I followed almost all the 6 habits daily.

if it is very serious you can see a doctor. They may give you Melatonin or Zolpidem or something. Melatonin esp. is a natural hormone taking it won’t have any serious effects but can improve sleep. If you are serious about it you will take massive steps which may seem expensive on short term but will help in the long term. I am not asking you about your accomplishing daily goals yet because currently you are affected by sleep disturbances (outside your control) so first get the hang of that.
also make a checklist of your original tasks and tick the ones you did at least. so that we can all know which ones you could do and which ones you will work on accomplishing,.

Yes @debellator , you ae right. It’d help greatly in the long run but I am not going for that atm given I have several important exams lined up in upcoming months. I have seen some other guys being given that by doctors and it did help them in long run as well, but during the first couple of months I saw them sleeping too much, way too much. Since I have like less than 40 days left in UPPSC and need to continue with 10-12 hrs of focused study everyday, I’m avoiding that rn. I had similar problems earlier in my life as well, but with change in lifestyle and other factors, it was cured naturally between 2018-Nov 2022. Only got back after problems in my personal life and I believe its currently there because of very high stress levels. Though only thing I feel better about is that I still use techniques to get around 6 hrs of sleep (using small power naps) every day, and with God’s grace can atleast study around 10-11 hrs right now.
As for accomplishing daily goals, I am still able to do most except for exercise, and 3 things from morning miracle. Was thinking if checklist would become too long but ok, I’ll club studies, exercise, sleep and other daily tasks separately to make it brief and will update accordingly.
Since I am not able to wake up earlier atm, I’m changing timings in my daily schedule here, but they remain the same.

Morning: Focused Study

I guess he just might not be used to sleeping early, like whatever I try I can’t have good sleep if I sleep before 12.
