How to use RSS feeds to boost your productivity

The internet has become a cluttered and overwhelming environment where social media algorithms dictate what users see, making it difficult to find useful information and quality news. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds can help individuals curate their own online lives by hand-picking content sources they care about, such as blogs, newsletters, job postings, and social media updates. An RSS feed is an online file that contains details about every piece of content a site has published, allowing users to subscribe to specific feeds and receive updates in real-time. With the help of RSS readers, apps like Zapier can automate workflows, create custom feeds, and push content to sites and apps, making it easier to manage email newsletters, social media posts, job listings, and brand mentions. By using RSS feeds, individuals can avoid missing new content from their favorite brands and authors, curate their own newsfeed, and see content chronologically without repetition or out-of-order posting.
