The Practice Pack

Thirty days of the real thing, with no money at risk.

5 min · built to be printed

The purpose of a practice month is not to learn about crypto. It is to collect evidence about yourself: whether you actually follow a schedule, what a twenty percent drop does to your resolve, and whether you can leave something alone for a week.

That evidence is not available any other way, and it is very expensive to gather with real money. Write the plan you would have followed, log how you felt, and review it once a week. At the end you will have thirty days of honest data about the only part of this you fully control.

Your one-page plan

Purpose — the job these dollars are doing
Horizon — how long before I would need this back
Crypto boundary — the share of my investing this may become
Contribution rhythm — amount and cadence
My "don't panic" rule — what specifically does NOT trigger selling

Emotion log

One row whenever something moves enough that you notice. The last column is the one that pays for the exercise.

DateWhat movedWhat I feltWhat I didWhat I learned

Weekly review — five minutes

The thirty-day run

If reading the log back is uncomfortable, that is the most useful outcome available and it cost nothing.
