Over the past couple of days, I’ve been grinding testnet points again. I originally thought it was just practice to get the feel for things, but once I started grinding, I caught myself quietly calculating, “How much I can exchange for in the future”… The moment it turns into expectations, people are prone to getting carried away—burning a bit more gas feels like, “Well, it’s an investment anyway.” My “stop-loss” I set for myself is pretty crude: 20 minutes per task card—if it runs over, I stop. At most two failed attempts per day; on the third, I just close the page and go to sleep. Don’t turn practice into a KPI.

Recently, when I unlock the calendar, other people have been harping on “selling-pressure anxiety.” I get swept up in the same rhythm too, and the more I think about it, the more I feel like I need to grind extra to “hedge.” Put plainly, it’s just emotions adding fuel—has nothing to do with the testnet. That’s it for tonight. What I learned isn’t a technique; it’s this: once expectations start to grow, you need to set a hard brake for yourself.
