Candidates can adopt several management techniques to optimize their study time for UPSC preparation. One effective strategy is the use of the Pomodoro Technique, where study sessions are interspersed with short breaks to maintain concentration. Creating a detailed study plan with specific goals can help in staying on track. Utilizing tools like mind maps for summarizing topics can aid in effective revision. Time-blocking can also be beneficial, allocating specific periods for different subjects, ensuring all areas receive adequate attention over time.
