Hi, my name is Bryan, and I have a problem. I’m addicted to Google Reader. Every morning when I wake up I have to look at it. During work breaks I look at it. When I get home from work I look at it. And most nights I look at it right before going to bed.
<p>I think the real problem here is that I’m addicted to information. No just any type of information—I’m addicted to <strong>new</strong> information. I need it all the time. I’m a cable news junkie as well. I prefer Fox News due because their views are so different than mine.</p>
<p>I’m not sure how to approach my problem. I see some value in reading my feeds; they provide me lots of new information I wouldn’t normally come across on a daily basis. I tried a cold turkey approach, and it hasn’t been working too well. I’m very hesitant to unsubscribing to anything. I just don’t want to miss out. My next course of action will be to separate my <em>professional</em> feeds from the chit chatty ones. I’ll keep them in two different accounts. I’m not sure that will work, but I need to do something. I’m going crazy over here.</p>
