Plan to maximise next 95 days for mains 2025: 
Divide the days into 3 phases of 45 days, 25 days and 20 days respectively.  
 
Phase-1 (45 days): take 44 days into 4 slots of 11 days each +1 day as a reserved day for emergencies.

slot-1 : Gs-4 + optional paper -1 part A 
 Things to cover : Gs-4: revise theory from a standard source + write pyqs +                 make short notes for final revision.  ( Do this for every slot in phase-1)
         Short notes must include - definition of important terms in syllabus and examples. 

slot-2 : Gs-1 + optional paper-1 part B ( can use resources like Vision VAM, Mains 365, etc)

slot-3: Gs-2 + optional paper-2 part A ( can use resources like Vision VAM, Mains 365, Governance Edsarrthi material)

slot-4: Gs-3 + optional paper-2 part B      

In this phase I used to attempt optional tests and some GS tests(not all) as well,so that I get to know my mistakes early. This phase is little rigorous but believe me it decides your fate. 

Answer writing should be done regularly in this phase, don’t put answer writing to later stage. Read daily , write daily. Atleast 4-5 questions should be written daily. 

I used to write 1 essay every Sunday. Keep practising essay.

Simulation 1: After this phase 1, I wrote 4GS tests (1,2,3,4) in 2 days just like UPSC mains. 

   ~END OF PHASE-1 (47 days gone)~

Phase-2: 25 days
 1. This phase is about revision of what you have studied so far. Check yourself now, how’s your retention, filter out the content and make short notes which you would be using during your exams. This is the best time to prepare micro notes as now after writing a simulation you know what content should be filtered out. 
 2. Start writing test series every weekend, Saturday- one Gs paper, Sunday one optional paper or whatever suits you. 

 Divide 25 days into four slot of 6 days each +1 day as a reserved day for emergencies 
        
slot-1: Gs-4 + optional paper-1 part A
         
slot-2: Gs-1 + optional paper -1 part B
         
slot-3: Gs-2 + optional paper-2 part A
         
slot-4: Gs-3+ optional paper-2 part B

Time for simulation 2: Those who are writing mains for the first time should write all GS again, it will take 2 days. Those who have written before need not go for this second time simulation, they can selectively write tests to improve targeted subjects. 

~END OF PHASE 2 ( 74 days gone ) ~

Phase-3 (20 days) : Again this time too make 4 slots(4 days each)  and use them in manner mentioned in above phases. Revision is the key in this phase.
 
Start scribbling pyq and test series answers to increase content retention in brain e.g. frame intros and headings to the Pyq and write brief points inside headings if you feel necessary.
 
In the next two days, revise as per your convenience. Though simulation is preferred to get mains ready. 
 
Last 3 days will be at your disposal. Try to revise out of short notes and focus on staying healthy, at good head space. Revision strategy would be shared separately. 

~END OF PHASE 3~

Note: This is not some “Rambaan” kind of strategy, but it works good as it has worked for me and my friends.
I wish you the best.

Plan to maximise next 95 days for mains 2025:

This is something I found while browsing. 

In the coming days, you would want to stop, you will feel the heat of this exam, you will worry, you will fall, you might even get easy questions wrong. 

What you can all do is ACT. Act in a manner that brings positivity and help you become better and not worse. This exam is something which stands out to be one of the most important things in our life. And why shouldn't it be, Right? We study day and night, wanting to do and give something back to the society, to change something. But, at the same time, it is very important to remember that we can act and do things which are under our control. 

So, let us act upon controllable. Revise the syllabus, study the previous year questions, know which subjects are to be answered first, decide the temperament and technique for prelims and be confident. 
Remember you have done and given a lot. Now it's time to act. :)

What you can all do is ACT

Ambition can be motivational. But it is the sense of purpose that can be transformational beyond imagination. 
Whenever you feel anxious, disheartened, or overwhelmed, having clarity about why you want to take this exam will give you inner strength and energy to push through discomfort and challenges that appear too big to conquer. 
Giving your absolute best is sine qua non (an essential condition), but equally important is having faith and hope that somewhere there is something that inspired me on this path, and that they must have some plan for me, or something they want me to give back to the world through them. 
For me, it is my faith in Krishna, but it can be anything for you.
