Lately, earning testnet points has been a bit frustrating. Clearly, it's just practice, but everyone is forcing a "how much I should get" expectation. Once that expectation forms, the mindset starts to distort: even if Gas is a bit expensive, I still push through; missing a task for a day feels like losing money. Honestly, my stop-loss for myself is to be "slow"—slow half a beat to confirm if the rules have changed, take my time doing tasks, and when encountering last-minute add-ons or requests to bind a bunch of permissions, just stop first. Don’t treat your wallet like a copy of your ID.
These days, there's also that mainstream public chain upgrade/maintenance happening. The community is guessing whether the ecosystem will migrate. I actually want to slow down even more: since the chain is adjusting, projects might not even know what they'll look like tomorrow. As for points, if I can't get them, I just accept that it's not meant to be. Don’t treat your position (or even testnet holdings) as a matter of pride… that’s all for now.
