If you can't consider cutting back, then consider going cold turkey for a week-long media fast. Just cut all of it out of your life: radio news, online news, everything. I found it both surprisingly difficult and remarkably productive. Seriously. When you let the news back into your life, I suggest you make an effort to only allow items that are actionable in some way and relevant to your current project [1]. It's no use reading yet another posting about node.js if you're not actually working with that tech right now... besides, that info will likely be stale by the time you really do start using it for something.
