I always see this on job applications for IT and such. I'm wondering, how do you stay up to date?

I agree with your limited-set:

TheRegister & Ars Technica are the 2 that give the highest quality overview,

and yeah, Phoronix is kinda required for Linux news,

and .. how the hell could churning more be somehow increasing one's productivity??

Stephen R. Covey's truth about..

the bigger one's Circle of Concern..
the smaller one's Circle of Influence..

one must Focus, or one is just mindlessly dissipating one's finite strength.

Limit one's inputs, to quality overview points, and know which other-sites to hit, for specific digging-down into some specialty,

( Leonard Susskind's lectures, on yt, e.g. for mental exercise: his "Time As A Fractal Flow" one is awesome, when the lightbulb goes on, at the end )

and then you win most.

Never let sand into your gears, in other words, eh?

Keeping all the "misc sand" out from one's "gears" makes one more productive.

Oh, also www.SemiAccurate.com for the semiconductor foundry industry news, if Demerjian's still updating that ( he's scooped the industry toooo many times to let that one escape being important! )
