Ask the Geeks -
Originally asked/answered in 2019:
Amy asks:
As you listen to other podcasters (knitting podcasts, reading podcasts, other activity related podcasts) do you compare yourself to others? Does hearing what others are doing or planning, does that make you evaluate or reevaluate your progress, plans, things you are doing? I find myself doing that and then have to remind myself that I am not in a competition with anyone else and to compare myself only to my past self. Thoughts?
