A Daily Current Affairs Routine That Survives a Full-Time Job
Forty-five minutes a day, one source, and a revision loop.

Most current-affairs failure is a revision failure, not a coverage failure. Reading three newspapers and revising none of them leaves little behind by exam day.
The 45-minute routine
- 20 minutes — one daily capsule or one newspaper. Only one.
- 15 minutes — write five one-line notes: who, what, where, and the static-GK link.
- 10 minutes — take a 10-question quiz on yesterday's notes.
The revision loop
Every Sunday, re-read the week's notes. On the last Sunday of the month, take a 50-question monthly test. Anything you miss goes on a single "weak list" that you revise before the exam.
