Ask HN: How to deal with reading list overload?

This is getting ridiculous. For every 10 new things I'm interested in, I finish maybe half of one. My Pocket & Kindle accounts are filling up without any chance of slowing down! Anything I can do about it (as opposed to becoming disciplined.. it's tough to not get distracted), or is this just the way things are?



I tend to set aside 2 or 3 hours each day just for reading, whether blogs/online stuff, newspapers, mags, or books. I go through a lot of books in particular, with the long-established rule of one book per week. I can fly through most books in half as long, but this system allows each work time to settle into my cranium. And I think that part is key. I want to read everything too, but you have to give yourself proper time to absorb each new thing.
