If it takes more than an hour to get through emails/newsletters/alerts/feeds in the morning you have too many. It takes away from what you really want to accomplish each day. I am also always finding new interesting things at the same time, so unsubscribing to the stuff you just end up filing or deleting is important if you don't want the discovery process to take your entire day.

And then they feel obligated to comment on everything too. Well if I was doing that I would never get any work done. You have to be selective in who you follow, what you read, and how much time you spend doing it or you will absolutely get burnt out.

I have about 500 RSS feeds coming in but it doesn't mean that I have to read them all everyday right? :) You’re spot on and if more people realized that they’re in control, I think they’d be a lot happier.
