Title: And that&#x27;s on top of the hundreds of tweets that I also &quot;bookmark&quot; in order to check later, on top of a couple of client projects I am currently working on, on top of my relationship that often feels neglected and on top of my life as an individual (= my friends, my family, books I want to read, movies I want to watch, music I want to listen to, places I want to go to, etc etc).<p>But to add some more context: I am a freelance developer (web, mostly), one of my clients is a company that has hired me to do data analytics for them in a field that&#x27;s quite new (and so there&#x27;s a lot of studying (about statistics) and research (about the field) from my side) and I really, <i>really</i>, like exploring, studying and learning new things in many areas.<p>So, over the years, I&#x27;ve been collecting pieces of knowledge or other general information that I found interesting. And now, I find myself just before the start of a new year (= reflectioning and resolutioning) and just before a commitment that will require some very effective time management for the next few months, thinking that I just can&#x27;t do it.<p>Now, to &quot;do it&quot; means to take action over all of these ~7.5K items. With very simple mathematics, if each item requires an action of ~5&#x27; each (this number is quite off but I am using it just to make more sense), I need something like ~26 days of doing nothing else other than &quot;actioning&quot; on these items (or ~52 days if I split the day in two halves, etc etc). Not very possible.<p>And here I am, asking for thoughts, opinions, advice. How do I do it? I could just &quot;-f delete -all&quot; in my inbox, pocket and bookmarks folder but I just &quot;can&#x27;t&quot;. Have any of you been in any similar positions? How did you deal with it? Is it some sort of standard &quot;digital hoarding&quot; situation? Is there something deeper? Should I seek for professional help, maybe?
