Good essay. I actually just started something similar, though since I don't watch TV or have another source of news, I am going to keep reading my RSS feed and the front page and occasional new pages of HN.<p>One thing I disagree with, but only slightly because you seem to have mis-used the terms, I agree with what I think you meant:<p>>Schedule your content consumption routine and be reactive than proactive<p>Actually, when you set your own schedule for doing things you are being proactive. Reactive is what you stopped when you quit checking new emails as they arrived. More generally - Reactive is responding to outside triggers; Proactive is working toward your own goals and setting your own schedule.<p>I tried to leave this on your site's comments but Disqus, as usual, was screwing up.
