How we learn and how to organise a Reading Inbox

I'm always interested in opportunities to learn new things, but like many, I struggle with information overload, in the digital world entertainment is so prevalent that the drive to learn new things becomes subdued to the joy of rapid exploration.

In any case, I've come across a couple of references that I want to revisit in detail.
