With all this information available to us it is very easy to get overwhelmed. One of the most significant things you can do to combat overload is to use a rss service like google reader and make it your home page. Now I know there are lots of other options for your homepage, but for me I like google reader because it forces me to keep up on my reading. Sure I miss having some of the features of something like igoogle but in the war against overload I need to make some sacrifices. I have experimented with just about every kind of reader and I always return to google reader because of its no nonsense interface and its spot on performance. Try making your reader your homepage and get into the habit of filtering your rss subscriptions, out with the old and in with new. If you are not using a reader as your home page what are you using and why? Please leave your comments and let me know

Keeping up is very difficult. I find I read the titles and still don’t always get to the main story. Besides keeping the reader as your home page I think it is a good thing to schedule even just 15 minutes during the work day to read a little. The next issue will be limiting it to 15 mintues.
