This year's biggest fear isn't the drawdown, but at the end of the year flipping through transaction records until my eyes go straight... I used to think "it's all on-chain/exchanges anyway," but when it comes to reconciling, I realize it's all over the place, with a bunch of small tasks during airdrop season, platforms even reverse the witching hour, wallets are swapped back and forth, and the points system makes the degens feel like clocking in at work, with records more fragmented.
My current simple method: every time I deposit or withdraw, swap coins, or claim an airdrop, I take a screenshot + export a detailed statement and put them in the same folder, naming the files by date; on-chain, I just note down the tx hash on a line. Honestly, I don't aim for perfection, just to be able to restore "why this transaction happened" later. Recently, I even set reminders/limits for myself: stop working when the time's up, don't get itchy to add more positions, which actually relaxed my mindset a bit, giving me a sense of "I've explained everything today," at least I won't be worried about how to explain things while trading. Anyway, for now, this is enough—don't wait until the last week to explode.
