Hacker News new | ask | show | jobs

I was in the same boat till recently. For me, it was Hacker News that felt like this infinite firehose. I felt anxiety if I did not read HN some day—like information was slipping away from me forever.

This is what I did:

- Rely more on my Twitter timeline. I follow <200 people and have my timeline show tweets in chronological order and I am able to "catch-up" once every day. I only check it in the morning.

- Subscribe to some link-aggregator newsletters, like hackernewsletter, that sends a weekly digest of interesting links every Friday.

- But most importantly, just come to terms with information overload that we all are living through right now and it's ok if you miss out sometimes. If it was important, you will come across it later. :)

sorry but this seems like horrible advice. twitter should be completely removed from the equation
