there are only so many waking hours in the day. If you want to read articles and books that time has to come from somewhere else, or be doing while you do something already (like use the bathroom).
Also you need a system, that's NOT your brain, that you can trust to hold all this stuff. All the todos and things to watch and priorities and life goals. That way you're free to think about other things. I ended up building a web platform to help me manage it all, but I do not recommend the same path. Still, you may find there is software out there that works for you that can help you offload all this stuff into. GTD is a popular methodology and it has plenty of good tips (like capturing everything) that are hugely beneficial even of themselves.
