Do you use an RSS reader? How do you manage content?

I subscribe to 10 blogs/news sites and receive e-mail notifications for updates. I recently decided to switch to getting an RSS feed for the blogs, and because I’m ADD, am a little overwhelmed by managing the volume of information.

I have the blogs divided into folders: News (Huffington Post, Slate), Social Media (Chris Brogan, Jake McKee), Life Hacks (Unclutterer, Dumb Little Man, Bargaineering), and Spirituality (Happiness Project, Zen Habits, Urban Monk).

In addition to the folders, I use the star feature and tagging only on articles I may want to refer to later. As I skim articles, I star and tag the articles I know I will want to refer back to later, and then also tag the ones that are “Tier 2” reference articles- I might want to refer to them later because the subject matter is useful.

I feel slightly overwhelmed, which is perhaps because this is a new work process for me. However, I’m wondering if the ADD issue is at play, and e-mail management of RSS is more in line with my “piler” nature, whereas using an RSS reader requires “filer” skills.

Any thoughts, suggestions, better ways to manage? Do I just need to learn new habits?
