Read, React, Recycle

13 Nov, 2025

I've been reading a lot about note taking and reading blogs and RSS and how some people leave social media but then they're caught by the next thing, like a feeds unread count or sth.

That sparked a thought: What if we read to react and then recycle?

This is how it could work:

1. Read
   Well... read something, a blog post in your RSS reader, for instance.

2. React
   Do something, like what I'm doing here, which is writing a blog post after reading something I'm already forgetting.

3. Recycle (or trash)
   Mark as read, archive, delete, what have you.

I get that sounds too good to be true and there's a lot of nuances. Yes. But also, this is just a thought, a spark, that may be the start of a system, or at least a way of coping with the unread counters. Same applies for email but that's for another post.
