One of the best things I’ve done recently has been using huggin.
In terms of news I have a bunch of RSS feeds for my industry and use huginn to do two things:
1. Filter them, to increase signal:noise
2. Set a schedule so that I get a “morning briefing” with industry news.
This way I’m not inundated throughout the day.
I do the same thing with hn and other personally interesting sources, but have those delivered Friday afternoon
I still skim hn (why I’m here now) but mostly looking to see if there is anything I want to comment on. If I see a neat headline I know I can read the details later.
I also read the economist (a weekly) and listen to and read books to stay more generally aware of the world
Getting away from a continuous feed has been really great
