3-5 problems per day during my summer vacation. 2-3 during semester time.

10-12 hours a day doing CP + 2 hours gym. Doing CP for my own fun, but paying that much attention towards it now since some achievements here might increase my chances of getting into the top unis ;)

Everyday I take some time to think about harder problems and upsolve them (most often in the evening). I solve new problems only when I want to.

      It means solving a problem which you weren't able to solve earlier (for example on contest).

Study/solve random MO problems (mainly combinatorics/number theory), and then solve random 2000~2400 rating problems on atcoder using kenkoo.
