It's easy, it's just old school. Subscribe to high quality periodicals. Pay people who work full time to curate for you and you won't have to work part time to curate for yourself.

You don't have to entirely avoid "social curation" like HN or Reddit, but once you've replaced it with something less noisy, you can be more honest with yourself about how much that time is actually benefiting you.
