I like to read a lot of links, tweets, articles, product documentation, etc and tend to build up a backlog as well. The way I solve this is twofold: 1) Leaving shit and forgetting about it. If I can't make time to read it, I don't care enough about it. Very effective. 2) Aggressively pruning tabs. If I want to clear out my backlog, I ask myself "how much do I actually want to read about this?" and close the tab unless I really want to read it. In the rare case I want to keep things around for a while and haven't forgotten about them, I generally put them into a new window then minimize it.
