I deleted all portfolio trackers, crypto tools and other related crypto apps from my phone. It has been the Best Decision I have made in a while, and I suggest you try it too.

About a week ago I decided to delete everything crypto related from my phone. Reddit is the only app that has survived my purge but I did turn off all its notifications.

Over the past years I have been sensible about my investments. Even though I thought crypto was just a serious hobby, I did notice my mood changing when prices dropped/pumped. This in itself is understandable, however, unconsciously I was checking prices multiple time an hour. Not good.

At this point I started tracking my behavior and found that, in my opinion, crypto was impacting my life to such degree that change was needed.

What did I do?

• Deleted 3 CEX apps
• Deleted 2 Crypto tracking tools
• Deleted two wallets (don't worry, everything is safely backed up in the non-digital world)
• Left several community chats on 2 apps
• Deleted some P2E app on my phone that I had never used
• Turned off all Reddit notifications but kept the app to stay up to date on sentiment. Plus, I enjoy being active in this community.

What happened?

• I have my focus back
• I'm not worried about prices anymore. I'm in it for the long run with set targets
• No more mood swings and more motivation to meet friends or to go to the gym
• MUCH lower perceived stress level
• Weekly phone use halved!
• Checking prices once per week on Saturdays

TLDR: I can recommend to everyone to take a step back from your daily crypto routine. Delete some apps/wallets from your phone (please, make good backups just in case) and cut down on your screen time. Try it for a week and see how you feel. If you DCA, you can automate that. Crypto will still be there, even when you haven't checked the prices in a while.

All you need is time exposure to the market. You don't need to spend more time checking the prices.
