It’s been about a month since I logged into the Facebook. It’s been about two weeks or so since I even looked at Yahoo groups (sans one bad day I ended up wasting on the drama of Senseless & Hopeless); I have no idea just how far I have fallen back on the RSS feeds, blogs and other community lists/sites I follow but it’s been a while.
So today I did a flush – mark all unread items as read and will look at it next week when things calm down a little.
These things happen every now and then, you fall back and… well, you can either deal with depression of being behind every time you open your RSS reader or you just say screw it, I’m just going to miss out on a few things. Now, it’s given that you are going to fall back every now and then so key is to be prepared. I have a few blogs (maybe 5 total) that I check every single day because I know those movers and shakers make a difference in my world and if I miss their moves I am screwed. Then I have the hundred others “amplifying” the same stuff, so even if I ignore a few weeks of their stuff it will not be the end of their world.
I always look for tiers to help my day, and being human I only have two tiers… Important and not. Important gets done. Not important doesn’t get done today, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not ever unless it becomes important again. Priorities are a wonderful thing.
