   I’ve dealt with that problem by giving myself “Instapaper time”:

   30 mins
   A lovely cup of hand-ground coffee
   My survived-redundancy-and-making-bank treat-to-myself tub chair in my study
   Hazel asleep…

   It’s switched Instapaper from a burden to a treat. :-)

   Right-o – have cleaned out the Instapaper cache and will start using it properly. Long form, interesting posts that I haven’t had time to read yet…

   I’ve probably spent too much time doing internal change management work, but one lesson I’ve learnt is that just starting to use new software isn’t enough. You have to give yourself a process or workflow that integrates it, otherwise nothing really changes. What was that Douglas Adams line about VCRs being labour-saving devices that watch TV so you don’t have to? :-)

   I must get around to the post about how I made Evernote integral to the way I work, instead of something I always thought I should use more…
