Help with Resources for GS 3

Hello! This is my 1st Mains. Any veterans here, please help me with the resources for GS3. I just have 15 dedicated days for the subject. Out of which 2 will go in writing tests.

I do have my own notes for Agriculture & Security. Previously, I took Shivin's course, but Env and S&T was too vague, so I don't have Mains specific notes for them. (But I do have Prelims Notes) How much will they help?

Eco - I do have notes from his course, but I don't know if they will be relevant now and how much.

Please help me with bare minimum resources for these subjects. And drop in any other suggestions that you have.

Please Please help! I am really lost. Do not even have enough time for crying rn.😭

Suggestion if you are struggling to start with Answer writing.

If you are someone who is kind of a perfectionist and that is crippling your answer writing practice, or you are too fearful to start, I have a suggestion that might work for you - "Do not look at the copies of toppers - Rank 1-100 on Day 1. Instead start looking at the copies of people with ranks like 800s, and then move upwards to 600s, 400s, and so on." You will see you know better a lot of times, and how those people have used just generic points to finish the paper. This not only boosts your confidence but also teaches you how to navigate through questions when you only have basic knowledge about a topic.

This practice has been so helpful for me, and I finally have some confidence in myself. Otherwise, looking at the copies of Ranks 1-10 in the beginning just adds to your anxiety and you get into the loop of studying more and more before starting with writing answers.

Resources for GS1 for Mains

Can someone please suggest a good and concise source for covering Society for GS1?! Smriti Mam's notes are good, but they lack a lot of dimensions asked in PYQs, and compiling them alongside Vajiram's Smasher Notes is taking a lot of time.

Please help with some source and your strategy.

Also, would be grateful if you could please suggest sources for other parts of GS1 as well.
