For a few years I've worked off and on a programatic solution to a 
       not many people seem to have, or, be aware they have. At some point
       realized I was suffering from an entirely self-created "implicit to
       stress". Be it my Email Inbox, or my Unread RSS Article count, each
       every one of these sources required my unerring attention.
       
       I've heard of many people going minimal at this point, but this isn
       "My Thing". I guess you could say I did the opposite.
       
       I recall the day Merlin Mann appeared, and Inbox Zero became the th
       achieve. I took the decision, I would Inbox Zero my Pocket ('Read i
       at the time) list. I worked for months on the cleanup. 99% of the a
       had been either obsoleted by articles I'd already read, or - contra
       how I was thinking at the time I'd enqueued it - simply weren't all
       important.
       
       But the 1%? They made the months of clean up worth while, by a long
       I was grinning cheek to cheek, day after day. To read! What a gift!
       
       For me the evil was not that I consumed too much, it was that I for
       had been enqueueing, but what did I have to show for it? You see, i
       out for the last few years I haven't been so much reading, as, well
       making lists.
       
       On realizing this it became clear to me this had to change. I simpl
       couldn't bear the idea that those 1% had almost slipped away. I vow
       limit the time collecting and maximize the time indulging.
       
       Months later however... my inboxes were in much the same state.
