After the reading 'the power of less' I trimmed the number of feeds in Google Reader down to 10 + comment feeds for my own sites.

If I find a new feed I want to subscribe to I have to choose another to remove in its place. For instance instead of following different blogs which may occasionally discuss vim I follow the RSS feed for the VimLinks twitter account as my sole source of vim news.

This means I only follow the sites I'm most interested in but I spend longer reading new articles from them. For everything else, if something is interesting enough it usually bubbles to the top of HN or twitter.
