Decluttering

Only 30 seconds ago I clicked two buttons on Google Reader that will dramatically change my world. The first was a button to select every one of my Google Reader feeds, all 114 of them. The second was the unsubscribe button, thereby effectively emasculating my use of Google Reader. No more feeds coming in; therefore no more feeds for me to read.

Using a feed reader like Google Reader has become part of my daily routine. Something I enjoy, something that keeps me informed and something that provides motivation and encouragement. However over time, my feeds have grown and it has gone from being a pleasure to another item on my to-do list. So, at the encouragement of a Toby Mac song, I am starting clean, I am starting fresh.

Right now, I don't have a master plan for keeping in-the-know or up-to-date on various things. Maybe adding back feeds slowly, maybe using Twitter instead, I don't know. I do know that I will take a couple days to process and see how my life goes without a feed reader and then move on from there. I'll let you know what I learned in a future post.
