Time is a valuable and scarce resource, and I think at this point in our lives we all understand it perfectly, in my case as a writer and Crypto lover, I often find myself debating between my daily responsibilities and my passion for exploring this fascinating digital world. Today is a day of personal reflection, I want to talk to you a bit about the lack of time, how it affects my relationship with cryptocurrencies and some strategies to take advantage of it more efficiently, because we can actually avoid all this if we plan ourselves very well in our day to day.
This is a very different article than usual for me, but I will write it with the idea of venting a little bit, as it will help my mind to get rid of some thoughts and thus be able to be at the point where I was before.

The Race Against the Clock
Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies have revolutionized the way we interact with money and digital assets, plus it is a very interesting field to explore to learn more and more every day. However, this revolution has also created a paradox: while we gain financial autonomy, we often lose time, and I say this as the obsession to follow the markets, research new currencies and participate in projects can consume precious hours of our lives, and it is that this is something unavoidable for us, we are always looking for new promising projects in which we can participate, it is our duty to be informed every day about the news of the crypto world, because even if you do not believe it everything can be linked and even if you think that the fall of $ETH does not affect you, since you do not have that crypto in your portfolio, but indirectly you are still affected.
The crypto world is so wide that we don't have the time to explore it fully, we join projects, participate in Airdrops campaigns, invest in some MEMECOIN or do other activities which keep us busy all day long, not to mention the work of traders.....

How to Avoid the Time Trap?
But there are unwritten methods, or things you can do which will help you to distribute your time very well and lead in a good way your daily life and still be attentive to the events of the crypto world, this is something we all dream of, to be able to lead these two worlds in an organized and above all productive way, without being overwhelmed and that the lack of time is not a problem, then I will give you some tips that I personally apply in my day to day.
♦️ Smart Prioritization: Instead of trying to cover everything, we must prioritize. Identify the cryptocurrencies and projects that really interest us and align your efforts with your long-term goals, giving this priority allows you to segment or create a daily routine where you know which projects will be the first ones you will analyze daily to see if it has any interesting announcements or updates of some kind.
♦️ Automation: This is a very important point, because believe it or not there are applications or extensions in case you use a computer, that allow you to perform repetitive tasks without you being at the computer, with this I mean the use of tools which help you to perform daily tasks which do not require you to be there 100%, there are some projects which ask you to perform some activities every day, activities that you can program and although it may seem unethical is something that will help you a lot.
Imagine that every day for 20 minutes you have to make a couple of clicks on a button to receive an amount of ETH in a Tesnet network, this will be used to pay the Fee you will spend interacting with the Tesnet of a project, that is taking you 20 minutes a day, but if you program a clicker to do this job for you, you will have 20 minutes free every day to do other activities or at least take a shower.
Set some alarms at certain times of the day where you create free time to do a specific activity, if I gave you my cell phone you might notice that I have about 9 alarms during the day, and each one of them reminds me for a specific activity, and that includes the physical training each day.
♦️ Quality Time: Instead of constantly checking prices, spend quality time on in-depth research. Read whitepapers of the project you are following, understand the underlying technology and stay informed about the relevant news of that project, this will help you better understand everything they are planning and so you can already see if they are on a good path or if the project is stagnating at some point in its trajectory, it is always better to read and be informed than just go to the market to superficially see the value of the token, because then you will not understand why the value of that crypto is rising or why it is falling.
