I usually don't look at it every 5 minutes or so. I only look at it at least once or up to five times a day.
However, when it crashes big time like what happened in mid-January to early February, I stopped looking at the prices or even on my Blockfolio or Delta, and just took a break and become productive in what I do.
That's a nice advice you got there, in which I will be doing the same thing to my friends who are still new into crypto
