Barb's tips
- i don't care about an empty inbox. i skim the list of unread and try to pick out the items that look most important, and get to them first. i try and trust that if i miss something important, someone will bring it up again.
- i also don't care about reading every item in my newsreader. i set up filters for whatever are the most relevant search terms for me at the moment and try to get to those first.
- if there's an item that looks interesting but i don't have time to read it now, i'll open a tab in NNW or del.icio.us it for later. if i don't get to it later, the world does not end.
Going further
