A few tips:

>> Find the best aggregators

>> Get summaries

>> Cut the redundancy!

>> Unsubscribe to as many things as possible

>> Recognize that gossip and celebrity entertainment are black holes (but following professional hockey play-offs is time well spent)

>> Pick the categories you want for a balanced perspective, and include some from OUTSIDE your main field of interest

>> Be a LOT more realistic about what you’re likely to get to, and throw the rest out.

>> In any thing you need to learn, find a person who can tell you what is:

* Need to know
* Should know
* Nice to know
* Edge case, only if it applies to you specifically
* Useless
