I use a lot of automated filtering against it. I read for maybe an hour per day, just like someone would read a newspaper. I haven't seen live broadcast TV since 2010, so it's not like I spend my life consuming content or anything like that.
The overwhelming majority of them don't even publish every month, let alone every quarter. They're also categorized and prioritized. E.g., a vuln in a piece of software I or a client uses is going to be weighted differently to say a recipe from my wife's blog.
Well, to be fair, I have been using RSS since the '90s, and it wasn't an overnight thing, and it's required a lot of trial-and-error, especially since Google Reader and Yahoo Pipes died.
As organized as some aspects of my workflow are, there's areas of my personal life that are quite shambolic.
Some other things that changed my working life:
* Putting a numbered label on all of my several hundred cables that relates to a spreadsheet with connectors, length, colour, where I bought it from (with a URL for fast replacement), warranty period, any notes (condition, suggesting not to buy another or that it needs re-terminating).
* A 'flexible' area of my home office where it isn't my desk, but a usually empty space where I can setup a secondary workspace for myself or others with smaller items. It's always torn down after use so that it can be anything it needs to be on a given day. Even having the ability to get a change of scenery when working from home feels much better mentally than staring at a wall or one of my monitors most of the time.
* Keeping a digital zettelkasten and also treating it as a knowledgebase. I'm very good at having ideas, but appalling at retaining them. Everything reasonably compelling gets written down, that includes solutions to problems that require some degree of complexity, or alternative solutions that may work better for the next time the problem emerges for me or someone else. These little cards are nice to provide others with an actionable and documented solution.
* The "Johnny Decimal" system has been great for digital file management.
As a disclaimer, I was diagnosed with ADHD in the '90s, and if I wasn't somewhat anal over my workflow then very little would happen, if anything.
The human element:
* My closet organization is borderline nil. There's a system emerging if I can stick to it, but we don't talk about the 'laundry chair' in the company of others (heh, hello).
* Organizing food and eating things before the best-before can be challenging at times. I can do a lot better with this. I saw a few compelling FOSS options for this, but I'd have to check my zettelkasten to figure out the names.
* I struggle with responding to IMs. I wish I could 'mark for follow-up' or simply 'mark as unread' on them. I love email from an organizational perspective, but most folks don't like email (no surprise there).
