After a few decades ignoring it because I hadn't liked Winer's "disrupt the 
mailing list" attitude, I recently started using RSS/Atom.

Having a chronological feed that I can skim, mark read, and ignore for the next 
few hours (instead of constantly refreshing various sites) has done wonders for 
keeping my screen time more focused on my own projects.

One puts up bird feeders to attract birds; for me, driving my own schedule most 
of the time but sitting back and letting random influences arrive some of the 
time seems like a good mix preparing a habitat attractive for muses.
