So, in that case try to finish off all the NCERTs (from 10th to 12th) by 14th Feb. Along with that, do your optional as well at least for 2-3 hours daily. After 14th Feb move on to high standard books like G.C Leong etc along with your optional subject. Try to write at least one answer daily on various online websites like Insights. From 1st April, start prelims preparation with whole dedication. solve 1 test daily of various test series available in the market.
