3 Hours a Day Keep the Stone Age Away, No?

One of my new year’s resolutions is to read the news and do social media for two or three hours first thing in the morning.  Three hours a day is a significant time commitment, but I have found that they pass very fast as I browse through my favorite sites and share the best links with my social media networks. 

There is so much information out there, though, that I barely feel like I have caught a glimpse of all that’s going on, even after three hours of concentrated browsing.  There are websites I don’t even touch in my daily routine although I know they contain information I need and wouldn’t find elsewhere. 

At the moment, the sites I visit are Cnn.com, Nytimes.com, jsonline.com, and mashable.com.  This way, I get a good mix of news, opinion, video, and social media related stuff.  But seriously, reading the news could be turned into a full-blown 40 hours a week job, and I would still be missing things.  All I’m hoping is that I am doing enough to keep up with developments enough to avoid becoming a stone ager.  I’ll see if my plan works out.
