I use the MobileRSS feed reader on my iPhone. Lately, I’ve had an unread count in the low hundreds.

This is nothing compared to Jen’s — or many others, I’m sure — but it bothers me. I want to have kept up. When I’ve read everything in my queue, all is right with the world. It feels like an achievement when I can look down and see no new articles — or, for that matter, no new e-mails or Facebook messages.

I need a new RSS philosophy. I guess I need to accept that some things just won’t get read. I need to prioritize.

One of my major problems is that I haven’t blocked out enough time to read things besides the Bible. I’ve set aside time to write, to read the Bible, to hang out with the wifey (I love Tuesdays), to go to work… but not to just read.

So, instead of relaxing with a long-form story or an in-depth article, I rip through whatever I can consume the fastest. Thus, I know a little bit about a lot of sci-fi goings-on (blastr.com), but I’m behind on Stuff Christians Like.

By the way, it’s true: it’s much harder to write well if you’re not reading a variety of stuff regularly.

Anybody else having the same problem? If not, when do you take time to read? What are you / should you be reading now, online and otherwise?
