time management

Try to read at least 8 hours a day initially. Even if you are unable to read at least force yourself to sit in one place for so many hours. Slowly you will become irritated sitting idle in the same place henceforth reading will become a pleasure. Don't worry about timings of normal human beings. If your breakfast is at 1am it doesn't matter. We can always question certain conventions. Mend your life cycle to your advantage. Some people are too lazy in noon time and very active between 1am and 5 am. Why not exploit that trait. Sleep in noon and work in the wee hours.
Slowly increase the time from 8 to 9 to 12 to 14 hours per day.
Unable to study? Don't do something crazy like going out and chatting for long hours with friends. Just download a documentary and watch it. it will definitely relax you at the same time it will be informative.
While reading newspapers some issues especially political might just be repetition from one newspaper to another. Don't waste time in reading them. Skip it.
In my previous post I mentioned about taking a longer route (because of less traffic) and reading anecdote books as I walked was a tailor made solution to manage time. Essay preparation while walking on roads. Sometimes you'll end up stamping something awkward ;) Doesn't matter go ahead. It all happens when you are facing UPSC. It happened to me too.
What more can I say about managing time? I set my speakers in my restroom and I used to listen to music while taking bath. Minor things can be done here and there to buy time for books. I'm sure each will find their own strategy to manage time sensibly.
