In years past, I used to get way too worked up feeling like I'm "behind" or "missing it" because of news that this guy or that guy was getting them somewhere.... This year, I'm going to tune out 99% of all online "noise", reports, posts, and just focus on what I'M doing, and where my years of prior results tell me I should be (as it coincides with my schedule of course!)
Sure, there's nothing wrong with a little intel, but there's a difference between trusted info among close friends, and letting online posts and chatter get you worked up and make you feel like youre missing out.
I'm content with whatever my season brings with this approach. Ive done it to an extent in years past (i dont use face book, etc...) but I'm going social-recluse mode even more this season... and looking forward to it!
