I hadn't seen Shareaholic before. @Johnny - yeah, it's so liberating not to have the entire universe as your target, right? @Dean – very good suggestions! I hadn’t seen Shareaholic before.

I definitely agree with being selective and choosing your focus. The volume of new gadgets and information out there is often so overwhelming that it almost inhibits your ability to apply them. It's much easier to concentrate on a few new things at a time and the rest you can learn by "osmosis" with other colleagues and social media friends. Thanks for the great tips Jody!

Mark,

So a few thoughts here for making the “downtime” possible:

• Evernote.com with iPhone app to save time

• Read It Later Firefox add-on to capture posts and sites you will want to check out at a later date

• Firefox Shareaholic add on for sharing things fast

• Google Search: Jody has it, must know these tricks and Parenthetic Searches I wrote about on my blog late last year

Good stuff Jody.

You can really make a big impact in just a few minutes at a time. I think the trick is having faith that it *will* all add up. @Jon - I too pare down my reads over time. I'll also sometimes skim a large set of posts to see what grabs my attention if I don't have time to catch up on my reading. I also read a few bloggers' "best of the week" posts that help me catch up on some things I missed. @Marc – I agree about downtime. You can really make a big impact in just a few minutes at a time.

I agree about managing all those blogs you have to read. I dump a few out of my reader every Monday to make up for the new ones I keep adding. I only have space for so many reads in a week so I limit it to a chosen few. I literally make it a competetive space for my attention. Great post, Jody.

I do some of this now, but not all. Your top suggestion "use downtime wisely" is by far the most useful. I write my own blog this way which is also a vehicle for staying current and learning new technology. Great stuff here! Fantastic advice Jody, very useful. I do some of this now, but not all.
