I have the same problem and I'm writing an app to help with this. I think a lot of the solution will come with personal experience and getting better at filtering content before it gets into the system. A relevant analogy is I click on way fewer HN links on the front page than I used to, and that's because I know the time to check out most topics could be better used elsewhere. I also just stopped opening Pocket one day and my life probably improved. Same with GMail, email bankrupcy is a good thing, just archive everything and move on with your life. For everything else it's a matter of having a system that lets you prioritise things and focus on them in order of importance. If you never get to the unimportant things it'll be ok.
