Lately the airdrop season has been getting hot again. On task platforms there are all these anti-witch rules, and the point system makes “farming” rewards feel like clocking in at work… Basically, your attention is getting tugged around—chasing this today, patching that tomorrow. In the end, you don’t earn money, and you burn out first.

I’m trying to set myself a “go slower” rule: once something becomes a hot topic, wait and leave it alone for one night. If I still want to do it the next day, I’ll try it with a small position. After I’m done, I shut off notifications—I don’t keep chasing the group chat’s emotions. If I really do participate, I treat it like paying tuition, not like salary. Anyway, the market always has new stories; what I fear more is being pushed along by the stories every time.
