I’m addicted to Google Reader

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&#8217;m addicted to information.  No just any type of information&#8212;I&#8217;m addicted to <strong>new</strong> information.  I need it all the time.  I&#8217;m a cable news junkie as well.  I prefer Fox News due because their views are so different than mine.</p>


<p>I&#8217;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&#8217;t normally come across on a daily basis.  I tried a cold turkey approach, and it hasn&#8217;t been working too well.  I&#8217;m very hesitant to unsubscribing to anything.  I just don&#8217;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&#8217;ll keep them in two different accounts.  I&#8217;m not sure that will work, but I need to do something.  I&#8217;m going crazy over here.</p>
