Figure out the URLs for yourself, spags. I'm lazy.

I use the Chrome extension Feedly. It organises shit into a magazine type layout, I find it a lot easier to pick out what I want to read from there. As for the feeds, I have some music ones (Pitchfork, NME, PMA), Charlie Brooker's Guardian feed, the A Softer World feed, and then just a bunch of stuff I grabbed out of this thread.

Just added http://youarenotsosmart.com/ a blog about cognitive biases.

That's an awesome site Cain, a lot of the things I know but this is a great way of keeping them all in one place so I can point out people on their shit and not have to go around searching for examples of what I mean.

Step One: Get an RSS feed reader (like Google Reader).

Step Two: Insert RSS feeds into reader

Step Three: Check once or twice a day. I usually do first thing in the morning and again in the evening.

Thanks. I've done similar things (not Google Reader though) and if I follow everything that seems interesting it'll take me at least 3 hours to tie down all the interesting bits ... After that, as you can imagine (?), I'm mentally exhausted and can't get much work done, so I usually take a nap.

I was asking because I think, apparently, I process information in a different way than a lot of people do. An exhausting way. I was wondering if there's a trick to it, or maybe it's just the way my brain's wired.

I don't know. I usually just feed through it once in the morning and once in the evening. Most of it I just skim. The rest I read. Takes me about 10-15 minutes. More if there's something particularly interesting, but never more than 20 minutes.
