Getting into the Monthly Habit
RSS feeds like newspapers, books and notes have a tendency to grow. More so the posts and articles from an RSS feed. Its very nature is to grow. grow. grow and grow.
(i)If you do not check your RSS Reader for a day or two you will see yourself drowned in a sea of information that has filled up your RSS Reader. (ii) And you also notice there are feeds that you often do not read anymore (not as often anyway) and this also contributes to the growing lake of information in your RSS Reader.
There are two things you can do:
1. Click on the select all and then select Read.
2. Even, simpler just click on the Read All Button
One way to avoid this situation is to do a monthly search and destroy mission on your rss feeds. There are feeds that needs to be let go - to unsubscribe.
It is up to you to decide what the criteria you use to select the feed or feeds that must be unsubscribed. (i) For me a big criteria is always use: Do I read it often or do I make use of it.(ii)Another thing to consider is how important the feed is to you and (iii) Is the feed even updated?
If it is important, your read it and it is even updated then keep it.
If it is important keep it.
If it is read often then keep it.
If it is not important, you do not read it oftem and it is not even updated then throw it into the dustbin.
Makes one’s day easier.

Just to be safe, I make sure I bookmark things before I unsub, that way I can find them again if I ever get a hankerin’. But then, my bookmarks are entirely out of control.
