I wish I could let go, I really do - but I can't. Even though my current unread count is 484 and rapidly increasing. And I find myself actually getting angry with the people I subscribe to, thinking "hos dare they publish yet another post when I still haven't read the last five?" I get chills just thinking about it. And I'm looking at you, Tracy. :) Good for you! I wish I could let go, I really do – but I can’t.

I know you're not subscribed back, you non-reciprocating biggyheads" and then I hit delete all and feel very satisfied with my nice empty reader and keep up for about 4 hours then let it all build again. It's a game, really.

That's because you're totally lovely. You always have been! :) x <strong>Insomniac Mummy</strong> LOL at the irony! :D In an ideal world I'd keep the reader because I like to keep up with EVERTHING that interests me. I'm just trying to be a little more focussed (and slightly selfish) with my time. I can see a time in the future when I might go back to it but it was becoming a bad habit. But I am grateful you added my site to your reader :D Tara

I'm so behind on my reader after being on holiday. Don't think I'll ever catch up! :) I use Google Reader which, ironically, I just subscribed to your blog on.

Just always visit the blogs in my blogroll when a new post pops up that interests me. Except this blog when I come over here even when it says: 'nothing to see over here'. I still come visit. x Never used a feedreader. Just always visit the blogs in my blogroll when a new post pops up that interests me.

Finding an empty feedreader is an excellent way of reminding myself I've got better things to do :D LOL Hi Jen, I think it was a good move.

It's not only a distraction to me but sometimes I feel like it's a bit of a an anchor. Good for you for cutting it loose. I have to say I totally hear you on this one.
