I’ll be honest, I don’t even want to read articles anymore. Its just crazy cabinet nominees every time. Wars happening. Nothing I can control. I just post something sarcastic or jokes in the comments. The only thing I care is if a hurricane is headed in my direction.

Y’all actually read all this shit? How does anyone have the energy?

    RSS reader -> skim headlines -> open the full article from maybe 10% of the headlines -> skim the first paragraph to see how clickbaity the headline was -> read through the full article on maybe 50% of those.

    And this isn’t just global and political news, I follow science, tech, sports, and other niche interest news this way too.

    Some days I just listen to NPR’s Morning Edition podcast snips. Double speed. Skip over any with a title that doesn’t interest me.

    And finally, I discard any completionist feelings. My RSS feed will never be all caught up. My podcast queue will never be empty. That used to bother me but I have some tools to manage my stress over it a bit better now.
