I regularly go through everyone I’m following on social media and remove accounts I’m not enjoying or learning from anymore. I’ve been doing this for a long time, as a way to take control over what I’m paying attention to. I talked about this lost art of cleaning out your feed for PopSci. Here’s a couple other things I published in the last week.
- ‘Task Till Dawn’ Is a Simple Automation Tool for Windows and Mac Lifehacker A handy little tool for making your computer do things on a regular basis.
- No, Microsoft Isn’t Shutting Down OneNote (Just One Version of It) Lifehacker I saw some misleading headlines and wrote an entire post about it.
And here’s some stuff I’ve read or enjoyed lately:
- 14 Things I Learned From My YouTube Career Reece Martin/reecemartin.ca Making things online for a living is hard. I found a lot of what’s outlined here relatable.
- Never Post is a podcast about the internet I’ve been listening to for a year. If you’re a weirdo who likes thinking a lot about the internet I cannot recommend it enough.
- Geography by Geoff is a YouTube channel that does deep dives on topics like why Prince Edward Island has so few people and why American state borders are so weird.
One response to “The lost art of cleaning out your feeds and other stuff I wrote this week”
I might just be weird but there’s something relaxing about going through my RSS feed list, removing a bunch and reorganizing them. It’s like a bit of digital gardening (I know that term is used for something else)
