Going through RSS backlog
So, I’ve decided that going through my RSS feeds seem like a good use of time. To give some context, I haven’t opened my RSS feed (on FreshRSS) for a few months and well, it ballooned up to 2k unreads. Yeah, seems like a bit daunting.
My management skills are lacking, so what I did in the first place is go through short posts that I could find (pretty sure I follow some tumblr blogs, which kinda explains the 2k number) but after some time I gave up on my losses and marked quite a few blogs as read. Some feeds such as news, blogs with overwhelming small updates, ones that I know that I won’t be able to start because it’s a long read (sorry). That took it down to around 1k. Okay, making some progress there.
After that is some skimming to go through the others. Why I didn’t just mark it as read? Personally, I don’t feel as guilty skimming than marking as read, at least I try to ingest the blogposts. So yeah, skimming and a little bit of normal reading. With that I managed to get it down to a (comparitively) modest 350+ unreads. Most of it is end year reviews, I think I’ll just skim those considering how I never got around to it.
Also, while we’re in the topic of reading blogposts, seems like I have a hard time on reading weekly updates. Not sure why, but it feels daunting every time I see a few updates every time I refresh. Oh and link posts. I think I understand what people mean when they say they won’t be able to read everything they wanted in their lifetime.
