Stop reading news: I started this a while ago. It frees you from the need to stay updated all the time. Read the excellent article on mnmlist about it. No IM: I have stopped logging unto any IM. If I want to talk to my friends I call them or ping them over social networks like Facebook or Orkut. Unsubscribe from inactive feeds: Use Google Reader’s trends to unsubscribe from infrequently read feeds. I reduced the number of feeds and thereby the number of posts from a whopping 450 to 50 per day. I have been able to save 2 hours per day/60 hours per month by following these steps. Just imagine all the things you can do with this extra time.
