A la Le Cunff’s recommendation, here are N tiny experiments that I am running this week.
Collect data so that I can reduce the number of RSS feeds I am following that I am not getting much out of.
RSS feeds tend to proliferate in my habit and then I review the crop daily and get less and less out of it overall.
I assume this is a FOMO thing, or just a consumer mindset?
So, this week only (Sunday to Friday), I am starring any article that I either open or linger on.
At the end of that, I will review the feeds that have no stars and remove some.
Notice that I am not being strict about it.
At the end, I’ll report back how that worked, did I remember to mark the stars, how many feeds were culled, did it feel effective.
That sort of thing.
Writing wise, I will try a schedule.
Nothing onerous, but I will set a time to do it, just 3 times this week.
I will set aside 3 schedule slots, appointments, of 30 minutes each and write during that time.
At the end, I’ll report back how I got along with the writing, if I see potential for a set time to work for me, how do I see using that as a tool for more writing.
