@matigo Ditto. For me it’s mostly a function of context split:
- Laptop in attic is work. After work, it’s left behind.
- Phone is everything else, and I can read in fits and starts throughout the evening and night.

@matigo I figure it’s an intentional barrier to entry. It also does buy you some DTS incidents.
@peemee Some of those sound delightful. Too bad they’re half a world away!

@peemee Yeah, there’s a cottage industry in novel gins. I’ve had Hendricks and St. George’s Botanivore here. But sometimes you just need a gin that tastes like gin. (But not like Christmas tree.)

@matigo For good London dry gin, try Beefeater or Bombay Sapphire. (I haven’t had the pleasure of Old Tom or Dutch Genever styles yet.)

@hazardwarning Ah, frustrating. :( I might be tempted to kill Internet for intervals at that point. I am very jealous of the time I have to focus. Doubly so now I’ve way more interruptions as a team lead.

@nitinkhanna I am very contextual by device. All my RSSing happens on the phone. Desktop browsers get an entirely different treatment. Though I seriously miss Tab Panorama and Tab Groups for helping me slice and dice tabs in FF and focus my workspace.

@hazardwarning My devices only poll for new mail every 15 min.
If someone needs a faster turnaround than “some time today if you can, or maybe tomorrow”, then email is 100% the wrong medium to make the request! (Urgent requests are what phones are for.)

@nitinkhanna Oddly, I find books more satisfying, even if I never get a chance to talk with someone about them. They keep up their end of the dialogue pretty well.
But RSS, oh yes. I can get exhausted with RSS. Too much lined up with my interests, too little time to swallow it all, and I don’t have a good publishing setup for myself just now.
I just limit exposure, stay aware of how I’m feeling, and take measures to keep myself sane as needed. Like not opening my feed reader, or closing all my open tabs.
