It has become obvious to me that I have a lot of Blogs (said tongue-in-cheek – I knew that before obviously) and I don’t really want to get rid of any of them – at least not the ones I currently post to. However I do need to make better use of my time and also to ensure I get reasonable quantities of and quality sleep, as well as other reasonable rest periods, all to ensure reasonable health and fitness, sanity, etc. This means that I need to make some changes to the way I run my Blogs and other online activities.
At the BookShelf is one of my primary Blogs and is one I would like to post to every day, but that can’t possibly be sustained, so I have decided to make some changes to my posting schedule – and they are major changes I think.

As Borthwick notes in a post on Medium, the most recent debate on this topic flared up a couple of months ago, sparked by a post from Facebook product manager Mike Hudack that lamented the state of online media, and how much of the content that was being produced even by “serious” media outlets was shallow clickbait:
