I read about 70 blogs a day. It takes me about 20 minutes. I do read pretty fast, but the real key is to use a Blog Reader.
I used to use Google Reader, but now I use Feedly.
If you still read the blogs you like by individually going to each one, save yourself some time and use Feedly. It’s simple, easy, and free. To sign up now, just click on the “Bloglines” button in the left column. You can thank me later.

I find that using a reader has left me less time because I try to read so much more. 🙂
It’s like my Tivo. I had no idea how much television I was missing until I had the Tivo to show me.
And I thought you had too many books, as it is. Maybe I’ll send you some cheese…

HI JEREMY
You been on my mind today! This isn’t concerning this post. But I wanted to tell you I think your way to hard on yourself! I visted your Church in Montana a few times, and visited with your members. And they had a great respect for you and your teaching. I believe you were a very good Pastor who sincerely cared and loved your flock.
My Dad was a Pastor and was very hard on himslef to the point he had more then one nervous breakdown. A verse I think it was in Ecc went something like this “don’t be overly rightous or overly wise, why destroy yourself.”
This verse seem to have helped him allot.
I’m in a hurry right now need to get on my way to work. But tell your family hi! From my family God bless you all!!!
blessings alvin

I just use the RSS feed list you can create in IE7 (it’s right next to the home button for the novices), and that way you can sort your blogs into folders. I have folders sorted by topic, so depending on what I feel like reading about that day, I don’t have to sift through all of my blogs to find what I really want.
I do have about 10 that I read every day (when they are updated) and then the others that I read about once or twice a week.

Alvin!
Good to hear from you. I am somewhat hard on myself I guess. I like that verse in Ecclesiastes. I had a professor last semester who used it to encourage us students to relax a bit. My life is in major transition right now, so that’ probably where some of my pessimism is coming from. The way I once was is not the way I am and I don’t really know yet who I will be. It’s all very scary and exciting.
