At some point, I had Reeder, Read it Later, Instapaper, Flipboard, Quora and Snackr that I was using to consume media on my iPhone. Needless to say - didn't work for long. After a ton of experimenting, I found a system that works well for me. Short preface: I use my system to keep up with about 5 blogs where I want to read every post and then for all the articles I come upon via twitter and HN. I use Read it Later to keep tabs on articles that I find on twitter + here on HN. Tweetbot lets you send to RIL directly from tweets and for HN, I use the Chrome extension, Aside. For the blogs I follow, I use Reeder. If you find yourself with too much in here, do what I did: eliminate blogs that you don't read EVERY post for. You'll bring back the ones you miss. In practice, it also helped me to just pick a trigger for reading through everything, my 'trigger' being after my run. This way, I set aside a certain amount of time to read through everything for that day. Improvements? I wish Reeder pulled from Read it Later. That way, I could have one app that has all my articles. Reading articles online will fill the time you allow it - so just decide how valuable what you are reading really is to you and go from there. |
