Doyce discusses simplifying his (virtual) life<\/a> by cutting back on his Google Reader feeds.<\/p>\n

I feel your pain.<\/p>\n

I currently have about … oh … 202 feeds I subscribe to.  That’s not counting another couple of dozen that I’ve move into an “old” folder for ones that I can’t bear to delete but don’t want to keep seeing.<\/p>\n

Yeah.  Pathetic.<\/p>\n

I really should cut down.  Because, actually, I don’t read all of them.  I don’t read more than a fraction of them.  They fall into three main categories:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Never get around to reading (but think I should*).<\/li>\n
  2. Read a chunk of every couple of weeks (and wish I read more*).<\/li>\n
  3. Read religiously.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I should get rid of #1.  I should seriously examine #2.   And leave #3 alone.<\/p>\n

    “I can quit any time …”<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    * See, this is what gets me in trouble.<\/p>\n
