Making Moves

I follow almost 150 different RSS feeds using FeedDemon. About a month ago I started feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information that was being delivered to me. I was constantly behind and found myself purposely reading items based on how quickly I felt I could get threw them rather than how important they were.   I decided to scrap the dozens of folders I had created in FeedDemon and move all my feeds into one of three folders; Important, Good or Not Critical.

Important - Contains what I feel are the 20 most important feeds I subscribe to. I check this folder throughout the day.

Good - Contains 35 feeds that are worth reading every day. I usually will try to clear this folder out once at the end of each day.

Not Critical - Contains the 100+ other feeds that I subscribe to. I usually will go through this folder on the weekend.

I can not understate how much this new system has helped me. Going from overwhelmed to efficient and informed is a great feeling.
