Spent a long time trying to figure out why I was so exhausted even on weeks when the actual workload wasn’t that bad. Did a rough audit of where my mental energy actually goes.

Turns out it's not the work. It's the communication layer around the work. Every unread message is a small open loop I'm carrying. Every reply I haven't sent is a thing I'm holding in the background. Figuring out how to respond to things ended up being one of my top 3 mental energy drains, ahead of actual work tasks.

The doing is fine. Has anyone else traced their exhaustion back to the communication overhead rather than the work itself?

I've used a few different data APIs and honestly the CoinMarketCap API documentation is one of the clearest I've come across. Everything is well explained, the endpoints make sense, and the error messages are helpful when something goes wrong.

I've been using it to build a small crypto screener and it's been a really smooth experience. The free plan is generous enough to prototype and test ideas before committing to anything paid.

Also just found out they released new DEX APIs recently which is huge for anyone building DeFi stuff. Real-time on-chain data from all the major DEXs.

Big fan. Keep it up.
