Since Google Reader went down, I've found I waste less time. I used to use Reeder as my front-end, but they've been slow to update their desktop app. I realize I'm "missing" things I used to keep up to date on, but the net gain is a lot more time I used to spend consuming what I suppose was superfluous content. For me - it's been kind of a nice change.

I had the same experience when I stopped using Opera and didn't have the RSS reader anymore. I do miss reading webcomics regularly, but the productivity gain is nice.
