Adjusting to Fewer Blogs

A couple weeks ago I drastically downsized my list of subscribed blogs.  Going from skimming 200+ blog posts down to fewer than 10 per day.  It has actually made quite a difference.  The time saved was used to read more books, which I’m happy to say has worked out.

Being disconnected from the news has left me not being as aware about things going on.  Previously I enjoyed being the first one to hear about interesting things, now I’m finding it better to let others be the filter to bring only the most critical and interesting news to me.

It’s actually been a bigger change to my daily schedule than I would have expected.  Reading books feels like progress compared to the treadmill of news streams.  I don’t think I will be re-subscribing to anything soon
