I would learn to use mods. I'm terrible with mods.
My perception of what was a good or bad habit needed fixing, since my fear of developing "more" bad habits ultimately slowed me down.
I always believed that playing a map with mods was a bad idea if I couldn't play it nomod. So I trolled myself over and over trying to FC maps that were a waste of time... and never broke into AR10 or HD'ing insanes for ever. I determined that my reading skills were inadequate for use of any mods on any map if I couldn't FC those maps without mods first. Aha... I ended up mostly playing streamy maps without mods for a long time.
