Right now I have thousands of unread emails from newsletter subscriptions to about 30 different sites/blogs and I just don't have the time to read that many (at least 12 a day). I also like #2 and pretty much follow the good rules of the others as well. I try to limit my resources in part #1 but sometimes it doesn’t always work right.

Often if I am stressed out and working hard, even a short break can make a big difference. I think point #3 is essential.

You make some really excellent points in this post though, I particularly focus on developing systems in my business which help me stay on task.I also heard the idea of a to-don't list, which basically is a list of stuff that you shouldn't do, which in turn helps you focus on what you should be doing, and stops you wasting time.

And taking this time uninterrupted from other task is the key. I like the idea of reading feeds in the morning or evening. Maybe for 45 minutes and then taking a break for 15 minutes before moving on to the next task. Time for me to go and take a look at my own feeds and consolidate!

Google Documents worked out for me, i create a document, name it by the topic and list all my favorite reads relevant for this specific topic, its great coz i can search easily for the documents by simple keywords. Sometimes i find an interesting article and never have time to read it, i save it anyway coz i know that when im working on something, im going to go back to my favorite articles on the topic.
