I've written my problem on a paper, because I feel more authentic doing that, as compared to digitally expressing it.

Please do read it, and offer your insights and solutions 🥹🙏🏻

I don't know if it's just me, or if anyone else struggles with it too, but I feel like whenever I put in more effort in my studies, I perform even worse, than if I had just winged it.

Say for example, if I have a test.. and I study 30 days prior to it, I'll get super shitty scores, and if I just study for it for 7 days prior to the exam, I'll perform quite well.

And now some of you might say that, "hey just study for 7 days, then". But I don't want to do that. I want to distribute my workload across a longer duration and have a disciplined life, instead of doing things in random spurts of productivity.

This is taking a toll on my mental health as I'm clueless as to what is the deal behind this phenomenon, and what can be done to improve it!?

Hey! I'm a complete beginner to UPSC preparation, and I've always wanted to pursue civil services...

I'm currently 19, and I plan to appear for UPSC 2029, as my first attempt.

How do I start studying for it, from home, without any paid subscriptions (for now) for anything?

I want to know:-

1. How to plan effectively?

2. From where to start?

3. Free resources.

If anyone can help me, I'd be really grateful.
