Made a change to my RSS consumption habits recently: refresh at weekends only. I inbox-zero my RSS cache completely, and push reads that require focused attention to Instapaper for weekday reading. Just an attempt to remove one more dopamine trigger from my habit stack…
@jsamlarose That is an excellent idea! I’ve fallen back in love with my feed reader, but lately it has been feeling like just another inbox that needs checking.
@AngeloStavrow "just another inbox"— exactly this. Lots of pressure to skim and mark as read, not enough space for close reading. Partly my own fault: my subscription list runneth over. But now my weekend self is the curator/gatekeeper, and my weekday self gets to go deep.
