Burn folder for RSS feeds
Earlier this year, I wrote about organising my RSS feeds to make them easier to manage. Basically, I group blogs by name alphabetically.
Today I took it a step further. There are some blogs from news outlets that post a hundred times a day and it's 90% mainstream news I don't need/want to deal with when I'm super busy.
This morning I had 174 unread articles and no time to review them. Instead I added a bunch of blogs; BBC, NME, Dazed, The Onion — to a folder called _burn.
The underscore sets it at the top of my folders list so it's quickly available.
After an initial round of organising, I had 122 articles in there which I could easily dismiss. That left me 52 articles to assess — a much more manageable number!

Kudos
I've previously lamented that there isn't an easy way to say "I liked this post" outside of social media so I'm doing my bit to make it easier.
So, if you liked this post, click the button. You don't have to but I'd be ever so grateful!

Comments
In almost all cases, the comments section is a vile cesspool of Reply Guys, racists, and bots.
I don't want to have to deal with that kind of hell so I don't have a comments section.
