I've turned the net into a pull medium where I read based on when I want to read, not when someone else pokes and prods me to read. Turning off notifications has been a big part of that, aswell as treating email as a TODO list written by other people.
I've also trained all my feeds (Twitter, RSS, Facebook, etc) to be all high signal. That takes work though, but once the initial hard work is done there, you can sit back and enjoy the spoils.
And don't forget plain old fashioned books. I can impart more knowledge from a good book than any of the famous 'longread' blogposts.
