Hey there, meme enthusiasts and blockchain pros! If you’ve been scrolling through X lately, you might have stumbled upon a thought-provoking thread by kache (@yacineMTB) that’s got everyone talking. Posted on July 12, 2025, this viral post claims that "98% of the work that people do simply doesn't need to be done." Bold statement, right? As someone who’s spent years diving into the world of crypto and now helps run the show at Meme Insider, I couldn’t resist breaking this down for you—especially since it ties into how we manage our time in the fast-paced blockchain space.

The Core Idea: Focus on What Moves the Needle

The thread kicks off with a simple yet powerful idea: most of us are drowning in tasks that don’t really matter. Kache suggests asking yourself two key questions:

• What is your actual goal?
• What’s the next step to get there?

Instead of juggling a million things, the advice is to zero in on that one next step and ignore everything else. If you’re not working on it, take a break—don’t just fill your day with busywork. It’s a refreshing take, especially for blockchain practitioners who often get lost in the noise of market trends, token launches, and community hype.

Take meme tokens, for example. With projects popping up left and right, it’s easy to get sidetracked by every new trend. But if your goal is to build a solid knowledge base or invest wisely, focusing on researching a single token’s fundamentals (like its smart contract security or community engagement) beats scrolling through endless X threads all day.

Why This Resonates (and Why It’s Hard)

The thread sparked a flurry of responses, and it’s clear this hits a nerve. One user, Michael M. Yalovenko, called it “so on point” that people might miss its significance. Others, like Wissam El Kadamani, pointed out it’s “much more difficult than you make it sound.” And they’re not wrong! We’re wired to multitask—thanks, smartphones!—as Sandi Slonjšak noted. Plus, with AI tools automating tasks (more on that later), it’s tempting to keep adding to our to-do lists.

But here’s the kicker: studies like the one from timequiver.com back this up. Focusing on one task at a time boosts productivity by cutting distractions. For blockchain devs or traders, this could mean dedicating an hour to analyzing a token’s on-chain data instead of bouncing between Discord, Telegram, and X.

The AI Twist: A Double-Edged Sword?

The thread also sparked a debate about AI’s role. JD Advanced warned that AI might make things worse by automating unnecessary tasks, creating even more work. This ties into findings from bipartisanpolicy.org, which suggest AI doesn’t always boost productivity—sometimes it just adds complexity. Imagine an AI suggesting trades for a meme token without understanding the community vibe—useless for a seasoned crypto pro!

For us at Meme Insider, this is a reminder to use AI wisely. Tools can help summarize market trends, but they shouldn’t replace your gut instinct or deep research into a project’s whitepaper.

Practical Tips to Put This Into Action

So, how do you apply this in real life—especially in the chaotic world of meme tokens and blockchain? Here are some actionable steps:

• Set a Clear Goal: Want to master meme token analysis? Start with one project, like Dogecoin, and define your next step (e.g., reading its GitHub repo).
• Break It Down: Use the SMART method to set smaller, achievable milestones. For instance, spend 30 minutes daily learning about a token’s liquidity pools.
• Say No to Busywork: Inspired by originalmacguy.com, ditch tasks that don’t align with your goal—like obsessively checking price charts if you’re not trading.
• Take Breaks: If you’re stuck, step away. A clear mind spots the next step faster.

A 17-Year-Old’s Bold Move

One reply that stood out was from Rayan, a 17-year-old from Morocco planning to move to Shenzhen, China, for the next 5-10 years. Kache called it “based”—a nod to making a decisive, goal-driven choice. It’s a perfect example of focusing on the “next step” (relocating) to chase a bigger dream. For blockchain fans, this could mean moving to a crypto hub like Singapore to network with devs and investors.

Final Thoughts

This X thread isn’t just a hot take—it’s a wake-up call. In a world where 98% of our work might be fluff, focusing on what truly matters can transform how we grow, both personally and in the blockchain space. Whether you’re building a meme token portfolio or curating a knowledge base like ours at Meme Insider, the principle is the same: prioritize, act, and ditch the rest.
