It has occurred to me lately that I spend an inordinate amount of time reading about current events and Australian politics; an amount of time that is not compatible with the time needs of everything else in my life.
I am toying with the idea of limiting my politics and current events reading to one contiguous hour a day. I believe this is doable, but will mean that I won't be able to read through the hundreds of comments on political blogs anymore. My trimmed reading list would then be:
Mostly daily
- ABC News Online
- Club Troppo
- Crikey daily newsletter
- Grog's Gamut
- John Quiggin
- Larvatus Prodeo
- Meganomics
- Paul Krugman
- Peter Martin
- The Political Sword
- Politically Homeless
- Possum Pollytics
- Pure Poison
- Sydney Morning Herald
- The Stump
- vexnews (mostly just the hilarious headlines)
- Wonk News
Occasionally
I guess I should stop watching ABC News 24 so much as well.
Yeah, it's reading comments that's the greatest timesuck on any site.
