Hi Steve,

I can't keep up with reading all the posts! Any strategies you can think of to get the most reading / quality information out of the 15-25 minutes a day I have to work on this forum?

Thanks!

If anyone else has any strategies, that would be helpful too

Well, I could not find anything better than Steve's suggestion at the home page where he says :

This site contains enough free personal development material to fill several books. Don't let that overwhelm you though because no matter where you begin, it will only take a few clicks to find something of value to you. If you find an article that interests you but you don't have time to read it right now, feel free to print it out for later. Whenever you print a page from this site with your web browser, you'll get a nicely formatted printout with no navigation elements and no ads...blah..blah..

So stick with that as a start

Here's my little hack. If I feel like engaging in a conversation, I pick a post that has a small number of replies and then leave a comment of my own. If I feel like just reading I pick a post that already has a lot of comments. I figure with those posts, most of the main points have probably been covered.

Try using some skiming techniques. Steve does a nice job when he writes his posts, using a clear structure and nice formating. Then, you can get a clear idea of the content of a post by following this procedure:
1) Read the title, section titles, and keywords in bold face.
2) Read the first and last paragraphs.
3) If the material serves you, go ahead and read the whole article (or print it for later reading).

This way you can select which articles to read in 5 minutes or less.
