So stop reading them. That's the easiest way out, you get some time back that you can use in more productive ways too, and you lose absolutely nothing.

i should have added "and their type". a type i can't seem to avoid in my professional life.

confronting their mentality (by reading what they write, by reading what others write about what they write) feels productive. more productive than cultivating a kind of detachment towards 50+ hours of every week of my life.

but maybe it isn't - i'll give this a try. thanks.
