As a crypto-"addict" I just stayed a week offline. Thats what I learned.

I used to check prices at least 10 times a day, binge watch YouTube Videos, scroll hours throught reddit and Twitter. Read news etc. Probaby ended up costing me 20-30 hours per week.

So I decided to be offline from last Saturday until yesterday during my holiday. I didn't know the prices or whats going on in crypto or the world for that matter through the whole week. Are we going to the moon? Which country did what. Whats the newest fuzz on reddit. No idea. Boy did this feel good and liberating for a change.

And then yesterday I found out that nothing much happened the whole week beside the solana outtage. But my mind felt free and my body a bit more energized the whole week. I used the holiday to start some of my old habits again like jogging, meditation and reading (real books). At the end of it I felt like I miss reading about all the amazing things happening in this fascinating area tho.

It is one thing to do research for a new project or watch a video to understand crypto better. But lets be honest, most of it is time-consuming unnecessary noise. A waste of time. So I decided to set some rules for myself, that allows me to keep uptodate without wasting time.

x) once a week reading glassnode weekly summary and kraken intelligence report (0,5h)

x) twice a week looking at willy woo and will clemente Twitter and scroll reddit via top posts last 7 days. (1,5h)

x) once a day checking prices and news on coinmarketcap and cointelegraph (1,5h)

x) other reddit subs and yt videos (1,5h)

Which ends up roughly to 5 hours per week. Cutting it down to the core and reducing unnecessary stuff. Additionally i will keep making some shorter offline periods. This is a necessary and healthy step, since i am more of a hodler anyways.

I would recommend every cryptoholic to think about doing something like that. Especially when you have am office job. There is more to life than staring into a screen.

Stay safe, stay healthy and keep hodling!
