Hi all,
Before starting your preparation, create a roadmap for it. This roadmap should speak for your journey toward success. It shall tell you what to do at any point of time during your journey.
Try to answer following questions:
1) What do you want to achieve? Eg – IIM
2) What is required to be done to achieve this target? At this point in time, you might not be fully aware of what needs to be done and have a very blurred image. So, the first step would be to find out what you know and what you don’t know. Both are very important. Find answers to what you dont know and clearly define your roadmap and EXECUTE it!
3) Equally important is why you want to achieve ‘this target’? Who you are as an individual and what value will it add to you?
4) At each step of this process keep asking yourself, is there a better way to do it (for everything from as broad a topic like your target to a particular detail like ‘how to improve reading speed’) ?
5) Is my roadmap flexible? During your journey, you will realize that you did not accounted for ‘x’ task. Roadmap should be flexible enough to adjust itself for this task.
Would you like to add anything to this list?

Nice Initiative
keep on posting ur experiences.
Regarding roadmap I totally agree when u say “EXECUTE” it. cause that is the key.. sometimes we are so engrossed in making the “Perfect plan” that we start making excuses or are scared of not actually executing anything as we anticipate failure.
Once we answer : “what and why” then “how” would automatically take shape.

I agree with you. So 1 way of going about it is, when we know a part of what then we should go ahead with it and figure the rest of ‘it’(what) along the journey.
