Are you reading blogs? Do you subscribe to them and read them in a news reader? This is an effiicient method of keeping up with the information that is published each day in our fields. For general news on higher education I would recommend subscribing to some of the blogs being published by the Chronicle of Higher Education. One could also check one of several blogs maintained by Inside Higher Education or subscribe to news feeds from their homepage. (It should be noted that the word "subscribe" is used but there are no charges.)
In addition to these generic higher education blogs, many of the professional organization now have blogs. The American History Association has a blog and the American Mathematical Society has a list of Math Blogs on the Internet.
If you happen to have a newer model cell phone with web services, I recommend getting Google Reader for your cell phone. You can keep up while waiting in line or at other times when you have a few minutes to spare.
Do you have your own blog that you 'd like to share with us? Let us know good blogs that you've found to keep up in your field.
