Since I have to post about something other than Apple I thought I’d share some of my reader trends. Hopefully it’s as interesting to you as it is to me, or helpful.
One thing I wanted to bring up with all the GTD hubub going around was how I categorizing my feeds (it’s also similar to how I manage my tasks through e-mail). I forget what podcast and who I heard used this method but I’d like to thank him since it’s helped me tremenously. The simple method is to prioritize your feeds that way your not digging through a ton of categories to just get your favorite/”Important” feeds. In the past to keep up with unread feeds while I was busy I’d just clear out all them, marking me all as read . disregarding that there were some “important” things I ended up wanting to read. So missing items is not the wonderful thing about this method, the most important is to not read what you don’t care too much for.
You’ll notice below I’m sticking to my prioritization.
And no, you don’t have to make “dumb” names. I’m just using numbers so they’ll be in order.
Another interesting trend that I’d like to share is when I read. Not important at all but it’s just fun to see my peek is during TV hours and the end of my shift.
I have a lot of shared feeds on my links page.
