Ruthless prioritization. I read/listen at 2x speed for anything that's not dense, and I give new content 10 minutes to earn more time. If I'm not learning something new or being challenged, I drop it.
For podcasts specifically: I keep a short list of 3-4 that I actually finish, and I'm comfortable letting the rest pile up and die. Your attention is the scarce resource — treat it like sats.
