Lately, doing tasks on the platform really feels like "punching in for work": today I connect to this chain, tomorrow I fill out that form, and I also have to watch out for witches. In the end, I get evaluated by a scoring system. Honestly, earning tokens has shifted from "luck-based" to "performance review," which makes me calculate costs while also fearing missed tasks—it's pretty frustrating.
What's even more outrageous is that some projects stack the benefits of re-staking and shared security on top of each other. I can understand the criticism of nested layers... stacking layer upon layer, psychologically it feels like if one layer has a problem, everything collapses together.
A couple of days ago, I simply set reminders and limits for myself: no more browsing when the time's up, no more doing extra if I’ve exceeded. Once I set that, I actually felt relieved, anxiety eased a bit, but I also felt a little regretful, afraid of missing out on "what everyone else has." Anyway, let's stick with this for now, at least I won't turn myself into a workaholic.
