>Reduce my spending (unsubscribe, stop consuming feeds)?
I used to be a heavy consumer
of digital content. I was subscribed to hundreds of sources and RSS feeds first through Thunderbird, then through google reader. All of them were "learning" material (I.e. not gossip) , and it included some podcasts. I thought I was being productive with my time, and it mattered to me .
But then my mind changed, I thought about all the stuff i read about that didn't matter or that I didn't use. I changed my approach and now I try to produce more than I consume. The little stuff I read about, I try to apply it somewhere.
Also, I've started doing more things offline: I'm doing way more exercise, playing a musical instrument and even playing SNES games.
The online world started to feel too much in a hurry and "extremist" for me.
