BE Electrical Graduate in Big 4 Can't Crack UPSC Due to Social Media & Porn Addiction: How to Break Free?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Your question to me is very unclear and what I understand is that you are dealing with useless thoughts...The only way is to find something useful to do...something that is fulfilling and something that you can enjoy...
Retirement does not mean that you sit at home all day feeling sorry for yourself BUT utilize this time to do things that you could not do while in employment. Manage your time wisely and if your finances permit, travel...travel brings in new experiences and new stories to fill your life with.

All the best!

Ans: Hello dear.
I am glad to hear that you graduated in Mathematics (Hon) and that too from DU in 2021. Trying and not getting success in competitive exams is a part of life. Very few got success in the exams like UPSE or other parallel exams but the rest of the students do not get depressed. You have wasted your years rather you learned a lot more. Remember a failure person can become a good coach and can give better guidance. There are many examples where failed candidates have started their coaching centers in their respective fields. Even you can also try. You can try your career options, particularly in fields like finance, data analysis, actuarial science, research, and teaching, with roles including Actuary, Statistician, Data Scientist, Financial Analyst, Market Research Analyst, Operations Research Analyst, Mathematician, and Lecturer/Professor at various academic institutions.
But above all, if you are thinking of preparing for CAT, then a year gap is not more, and remember, you have to hit the target/goad up to the age of 28 only! Yet 2 attempts are in your hand! If your financial situation permits you, and you are dam sure about your preparation then you can take the chance else choose other career options as mentioned earlier to you.

If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.

Ans: You’re caught in a loop, but what matters is how you handle it now. Dwelling on guilt won’t change anything - your action will. Right now, your board exams need your full focus. Forget about NEET for now. Even if you feel unprepared, showing up and giving your best effort is non-negotiable. No excuses. Procrastination isn’t about motivation - it’s about discipline. Set a strict, no-negotiation study schedule. 50-minute study sessions, 10-minute breaks. Keep your phone away while studying. You say you can’t delete YouTube, fine. But are you willing to use it only for study-related content, with no loopholes? Your parents’ expectations are there, but for a moment, shift the focus—what does success look like for you? No overthinking. No self-pity. Just action. What’s one thing you can do right now to move forward?

Wishing you success,

Ans: Hello Zaira
Start with some steps as follows
1. 45 mts study window & then 5/10 mts break
2. Keep your phone off/locked and kept away during these 45 mts
3. Check phone only during scheduled breaks
4. Make notes & study from there rather than directly from online resources
5. Keep company with one or two focused students in your circle & interact regularly regarding studies etc.
Every time you feel the urge of going back to old ways, remind yourself of your immediate "Life Goals". There will be ample time for everything else later in life.
Remember there is no substitute for "DISCIPLINE" & that is the only way to reach your goals.
All the Best !!
