Thanks! Yea crypto sucks you in. I would avoid day trading and if you're planning to hold longish term and swing trade avoid checking prices and limit yourself to once a week/weekend. After a while the urge to constantly look leaves you. Possibly delete apps or remove notifications as well. It's proven that monitoring and being 'informed' makes you a worse trader - (My latest episode on cognitive biases in finances covers this) Hobbies are a good place to start but also actively ignoring your tech as a rule can then open up space for things. Good luck and go easy on yourself!
