I just did something stupid… I claimed testnet water, copied the address and pasted it into the previous clipboard—and the moment I clicked confirm, my heartbeat instantly went into overdrive. Luckily it was only the testnet, or else I’d have to come here and “confess” again. It also reminded me: originally, it was just practice, but everyone treated it like a “future expectation” that could turn into money, and my mindset completely shifted. I suddenly wanted to put all-in—time and attention—into everything.

The stop-loss I’ve set for myself is kind of crude: once I start staring at large transfers on-chain or watching for any changes in exchanges’ hot and cold wallets and I start thinking, “smart money is hinting at me,” I know I’m already getting swept up… I immediately stop for half a day. If I can’t finish the tasks, then fine. The truth is, points are about practicing the process and discipline—not about training myself to rationalize FOMO. For now, that’s it—don’t turn a free assignment into paid anxiety.
