Linked this on my blog but I thought I would get a more interesting discussion about this here. This post made me realize how much of a information junkie I am, and starting from a clean slate really helped me leave things I was doing just out of habit behind. Unfollowed almost everybody on Twitter and Tumblr (I'll rebuild my following over time and try to switch up my sources of information), deactivated my Quora account, consolidated and cleaned up all my bookmarks in Pocket, etc.

Anyone tried this or something similar? Do you find yourself suffocating under so much material to read and catch up to sometimes? What are your thoughts on this? Discuss :)

I recently closed my Facebook account and cut down on a lot of my RSS feeds that I subscribed too. For me, it was quality over quantity. I wasn't getting much quality information on Facebook and got tired of the same stories repeating in my feed reader. I narrowed my feeds to the few sources that I trust and provided quality content. So that means a lot of tech blogs got deleted since all they do is regurgitate the same stories.
