I set a rule for myself: when cutting losses, don’t talk feelings. Every time I’m in the red and don’t move on, I start self-hypnosis: “Just wait a bit—surely it’ll come back”… Basically, it’s the same as breaking up—only the longer you drag it out, the more it hurts. And you even end up paying your opportunity cost as if it were interest. Lately, the air-drop season has been even more ridiculous: the points-based system makes “ripping rewards” feel like going to work and clocking in, and the task platform even plays the role of anti–witches. The more you churn, the more it looks like the fake prosperity of chasing volume to hit KPI targets. I’d rather admit I’m wrong and cut it sooner now, shut off the screen-watching, and at least know exactly how much I’m losing—so I don’t have to keep being fooled by myself every day. That’s it for now. I’m not going to hard-force myself through it today.
