I HATED having unread items in GReader, but didn't have the time to read them. I finally forced myself to tier everything. One folder with a maximum of 10 feeds that were un-missable for me. A second folder with a maximum of 20 feeds that were important, but not as critical (or with a lower signal-to-noise ratio) as the first one. And so on... The results? I'm still seeing and reading everything important (since it's in my top folder) As I have time I can clear more and more stuff through each successive tier of folders. When I feel like I need a little serendipity, I just click "All Items" and just see what's new, whether it's from a top-tier folder or bottom-tier folder. I'm back to loving GReader and RSS now... :)
