Of course, my method of just checking email while on vacation isn't a great alternative. Though I don't come home to an overflowing inbox, I also don't ever really get true time off. Kudos to you!

What resources have you used to help craft good titles? <strong>Jeff,</strong> That's exactly what I do. I have a large number of folders in NetNewsWire and each has its own priority - from blogs I absolutely have to read to those who I like to keep a distant watch on. Great idea. Gift Ideas,

Jeff,
That’s exactly what I do. I have a large number of folders in NetNewsWire and each has its own priority – from blogs I absolutely have to read to those who I like to keep a distant watch on. Great idea.

A lot of popular readers make this really easy (Google Reader, FeedDemon, etc). If I start to get behind, I'll just 'mark all' for news sites and company blogs. It's a lot easier to catch up on the personal/project blogs I'd hate to miss some news for.

Sometimes I wake up one day have 50+ new titles to read - I just skim the titles and pick a few that I think are interesting... which shows the importance of Post Titles in RSS Feeds. 'Letting them all go', as you say, is a great way to deal with it. If there is something really good on a good blog, you will make it back there eventually. If the news is big enough, you'll see it other places. I don’t have nearly 190 RSS feeds in my reader and I know that I can get quickly buried if I don’t check it daily.

I'm glad you're back, Dawud! I can't imagine what your reader must've looked like. I have enough dread opening mine (with only about 40 feeds) after a week of not reading. I feel bad about doing mark all as read, but it has to be done, otherwise I'd go crazy! For my most favoritest bloggers (like you!), I do quickly skim the unread ones for those really good gems.

I also ordered my email first by sender and then by subject, scanning for anything that looked vital. And, of course, I filter my client emails into specific client folders, so sorting those were much easier. <strong>Home,</strong> At least with the feeds. Email, I've just slugged through everything I can find that looks vital. Everything else I've let go of with the idea that anything I didn't respond to that was important would get another message.

Irrespective of the volume, on return from extended tours, these had to be attended to. As an employer, I could not afford not to. Now in genteel retirement, it does not pile up. So, what can I comment. Your decision, drastic as it may sound seems the only viable option available to you. As an employee, I had no choice in the matter.

So the best is to do the current work and finish the backlog in small installments everyday.

You should mark post read, except mine. I know what you mean. I'm so much about relationships that sometimes I get overloaded by everything I try to do. It's a great reminder for me to let go. <strong>Colleen,</strong> First, I love you. Second, you're damn hilarious. Third, glad you got it. Carma,

I know what you mean. I’m so much about relationships that sometimes I get overloaded by everything I try to do. It’s a great reminder for me to let go.

Colleen,
First, I love you.

Second, you’re damn hilarious.

Third, glad you got it.
