I feel the same way with my feed reader and inbox. I've always used my inbox like a todo list but that's about the worst way to handle a todo list. Things get lost, forgotten, archived accidentally. It's tough to balance how much you take in. I love reading everything I can get my hands on but it often becomes overwhelming. If I can't get to my feeds for a week. I'm stuck with hundreds of unreads. Most of the time the Mark All As Read button is the only way to go. Thanks John. I feel the same way with my feed reader and inbox.

I have been battling with this problem myself. The feeds just start growing in number and the "unread" figure bugs me. I was this way with email in my inbox. I have always had a 14 message threshold. More than that and I can't work well knowing they are there. I solved this one by adopting the inbox zero method which I am pretty good with. Much of this (both news feeds and email) is how we perceive it. Different people perceive it differently. I'm not one of those who can live with things poking me saying "read me, read me" :-) Ross, I liked your post. I have been battling with this problem myself.

Often it's just how it is written that is boring. I admit that I'm hardly a seasoned writer but I'm working towards it. It's hard to be different. There are many blogs that are similar to mine and many others similar to yours. I could say I'm pretty bored of blogs with pictures of Asia. I do appreciate you taking the time to read and comment on my boring blog post though. Then you must already know all the ways to do everything? Often it’s just how it is written that is boring.

It's all "how you can" or "top ten ways to" They bore the fuck out me. I think the blogoshpere has gone down hill recently. It’s all “how you can” or “top ten ways to” They bore the fuck out me.
