Lately, I've been struggling again with airdrop interactions: afraid to miss out if I don't do it, but doing too much feels like I'm just a free tester for the project, and in the end, I get rekt... Honestly, it just makes me very anxious. Now I just adopt a "gardener" mode, first layer my positions, set aside a small portion of the interaction funds, establish a limit for myself, and add a calendar reminder: only pick two days a week to click around, don't stare at the task list every day.
A couple of days ago, that mainstream public chain was upgrading/maintaining, right? Everyone in the group was guessing whether the ecosystem would migrate. I was tempted too, but thinking about it, whether it migrates or not doesn't matter much to a retail investor like me who interacts. The key is not to chase the hype and burn through transaction fees. After setting reminders/limits, my mindset really calmed down: do the work when it's time, stop when I reach the limit, and leave the rest to luck... At least I won't be waking up in the middle of the night to check on on-chain data.
