Filter your news feed using #hashtags relevant to your area of expertise. This saves time and will surface relevant updates and news for you to work from.

Look at Twitter, Quora or Reddit to see what's trending right now, or carry out a search to see what questions people are asking about or issues they are discussing in your area of knowledge. Again, #hashtags will save you time and energy, and creating your own Twitter Lists can be a useful shortcut.

Drop in on your favourite websites and blogs to see what's being discussed today. An RSS reader like Feedly helps to manage blog and news updates more effectively.
