Editor’s Note: Every Friday, I post a Simple Living News Update that includes links to some of my favorite articles of the week. In addition to the update, I answer a reader question via video.
I’ve received a few emails this week asking . . .
“What blogs are you currently reading?”
Here’s my response . . .
For those of you who can’t watch the video, here’s a summary of my talk:
Last week, I unsubscribed from all of the blogs in my Google Reader because I wanted to start with a clean slate. Why? Well . . .
I was trying to keep up with too many authors and I couldn’t give each blog my full attention. I found myself scanning the content and not absorbing much. I haven’t added any blogs back into my reader yet because I’ve been finding a lot of useful information on twitter. When I stumble across a cool article I save the reading for later. Readability is a great tool for this purpose.
In addition, I’m starting to subscribe to more letters and one of the best is by Crystal Silver. And speaking of letters, consider subscribing to mine.
Micro-action: Think about the blogs you read and what you gain (or lose) from the content. Have you thought about starting fresh and zeroing out your feed reader?
