Building habits that power your UPSC Journey...!

Preparing for UPSC is not just about how many hours you study — it’s about how effectively you channel your energy, time, and focus. Our minds are always racing: with plans, comparisons, doubts, distractions, ambitions, and responsibilities. In this noise, clarity comes only when you pause and prioritise. Without knowing what truly matters, it’s easy to get carried away. That’s where a Habit Tracker comes in — not just for discipline, but for direction.

WHY USE A HABIT TRACKER?

• To put your priorities on paper.

• To visualise your consistency.

• To stay grounded when the journey feels overwhelming.

HOW TO USE IT?

1. List Your Top 5 Habits - the ones that matter most to your growth and confidence in this journey. For example:

• 1 hour of focused newspaper reading

• Learning from PYQs daily

• Sleeping 7 hours

• Physical activity (walk, yoga, workout)

• Staying off social media during study time

2. Print or Save the Tracker — Every day you follow a habit, mark/shade the box.

3. Reflect at the End of the Month — Ask yourself:

• Where did I stay strong?

• Where did I fall off?

• What can I do better next month?

NOTE:

Don’t forget to include physical activity and sound sleep in your list. They are not optional — they’re your support system for this long journey.

✨ Remember

• If you don’t measure it, you can’t improve it.

• If you don’t prioritise, you’ll feel lost.

• If you don’t track, you’ll overestimate your effort and underestimate your gaps.

• When you track small wins, they grow into big results.

Start small. Miss a day? No problem. Pick it up the next day.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about direction.

Let’s do this together. Trust the process. Track honestly. Improve slowly.
