Also, you have to be quite ruthless in deciding whether something is worth reading or not. Don't forget, without RSS you probably wouldn't have come across it in the first place, so it's already an added bonus.<BR/><BR/>I myself find it very hard to throw things away, and that funnily enough also applies to stuff I come across on RSS. But just like I try hard to achieve a 'zero inbox' I try to clear out my feeds ever so often, skimming though stuff and marking things as read if I either don't have time to read them or don't think they're that interesting/relevant/worth my time.Oliver Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15470911924018335990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554451763980508014.post-48869074966633894172009-02-24T08:46:00.000+00:002009-02-24T08:46:00.000+00:00I have the same worries about getting overwhelmed ...I have the same worries about getting overwhelmed with information that -- frankly -- I don't really need. No doubt the solution is to be very, very disciplined: which may mean, in some cases, not signing up to things just for fun, or in others, rigidly demarcating what you are prepared to read when. As I've mentioned on my own blog, I have found it useful to sort my subscriptions into folders; and I've also started ruthlessly using the 'mark all as read' button to keep my reading under control. Life is too short for some things.Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736964617838267475noreply@blogger.com
