These past couple of days, doing tasks on the platform really feels a bit like clocking in for work: first connect your wallet, then pass the scoring, then worry about getting “one-cut” by a witch—so much so that I’m more tense than when I’m doing contracts… If things go wrong, I can still set a stop-loss with a quick adjustment, but once the score drops, there’s really nowhere to appeal.
Later, I found that the part that tires me most isn’t the operations—it’s that kind of anxiety of “Did I not do something quite right?” It feels very similar to the emotion of the market when interest-rate cut expectations briefly pull risk assets up and down in sync: even though there’s no certainty, everyone is sprinting ahead from the start.
Anyway, I’ll just treat it as review training for now—if I can do it, I’ll do it; if I can’t, I’ll let it go. Don’t push yourself until you burn out and your mindset collapses.
