Candidates can assess and calibrate their study schedules by regularly monitoring progress towards goals. Setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) objectives allows for clearer evaluation of their efforts. Utilizing digital tools or planners can help track completed tasks and set priorities. Periodic self-reflection on what methods are working or need adjustment enhances the overall study process. Blocking time for breaks also ensures mental well-being, contributing to sustained productivity. These evaluations enable candidates to adapt their schedules effectively for optimal performance in the UPSC examination.
