Bill Israel on learning better RSS management:
“I treat RSS with undeserving priority, and this causes two big problems: 1) I’ll stop whatever I’m doing to read, flag, or ‘mark as read’ all new RSS items as they come in, and 2) I’ll go to absurd lengths to ensure I have zero unread items whenever I walk away from a computer.”
“This compulsion has reached the point of being a real problem, and I’m finally taking steps to rectify it.”
So begins Bill’s quest to tame the inbox and regain some control. Whilst I have cut down a lot of redundant technology related feeds, I’m still in the denial stage.
I can stop when ever I want. Honestly.. I can. Oooh, Google Reader you’ve got more stuff for me to read? Marvellous.
— d’oh.
