How better to work with Google Reader

Since Google Reader, probably the most popular program for reading RSS-channel, below are a few tips on how to increase productivity with Google Reader.

Hotkeys. Google Reader provides an excellent set of keyboard shortcuts, access to which can be easily obtained by pressing Shift + '?', In case if you forget your combination. Such conventional hotkeys like 'j' and 'k' to view the next and previous messages will save you a lot of time.

Create a folder and leave the shortcuts. For example, you subscribe to three blog presvyaschennyh on "Efficiency", and if you mark them as Performance, then automatically will be set up three folders with the same name, which will be stored and Posts with these blogs. However, if some of these news you find particularly interesting and want to select it, you can also mention such news label.

Use List view. By default, Google Reader installed appearance, which displays a message in an expanded form. We recommend immediately switch to list view, because it is much more convenient and allow you to work faster with messages.

Create a folder for the most important posts. All people who value their time and do not want to spend hours reading thousands of messages every day should be a folder for the most important posts. If you do not have this, then do not delay and make it right now. Reports from this folder read every day, and the other less important place for the weekend.

Use an asterisk, to mark the messages you want to read later. As well as Gmail allows you to mark letters with asterisks in Google Reader in the same way you can celebrate the most important messages. Yes, but do not forget to remove the asterisk after the message has been read by you.
