When something needs to give…

I’ve just had a liberating moment – well, more than a moment, quite a few minutes really. But I feel like I’ve just freed up some of my time and will most likely fill it with something else.

What am I talking about?  My Google Reader. It had become too full with over 1,000 posts I haven’t even read or skimmed through.  It became overwhelming and I decided to cull the list of blogs I was subscribed to.  I got rid of all those which haven’t updated for months – although that didn’t cull the 1000+ new posts I haven’t yet read. And then I went through those that I was really no longer interested in but had subscribed to quite some time ago. That included forums I might not participate in much these days.  I even found there were some dead forums or blogs – no longer active.

Whew!  Feel better now.

And then I added a few new subscriptions, mainly to photography blogs since I have a keen interest in that topic these days.

Now I can get on with my work today feeling a little less cluttered on my Internet desktop.
