When our access to media has never been greater, how do you prioritize/filter it down?

I like to develop a few things deeply, growing meaningful relationships, rather than going an inch deep and a mile wide so to speak. Hub pages is one site I have found to be most satisfying
Limiting myself in this way affords me adequate time for each.
