I trim the fat every now an again, everything is read via Feedly and I have it on my phone to really quick scanning over whilst doing menial things like eating breakfast or traveling. Marking interesting stuff for reading later.
The major time saver is really not reading or replying to comments. Hackernews is the opposite to that rule where most of the time the comments are more insightful than the article.
Think of it in term of signal to noise ratio. How much good information have you gained and how much did you have to wade through to get there. Comments sections on websites are usually high noise. Reddit is no exception in my experience. There might be microcosms of insight but finding them is too hard.
- the_watcher 12y agoAnother good tip - periodically looking at where you are spending your time reading and cutting those that are just taking up your time (ESPN headlines Twitter was one for me - anything noteworthy to me gets to me through sites/channels I follow for more specific reasons) will make a difference. It's tough to use this strategy for Reddit and HN though.
