I have been trying to find an efficient way to deal with this, and the trick is to decide what the most important thing is at any given moment for you. When you are fairly sure what that is, let's say it's an article or a book, you have to finish what you set out to do initially before another interesting thing gets your attention. The cost of context switching is very high, and you have to really pick out what matters to you. If you can take the time to think about it, there will be things that you want to dive into more depth than others. Once you are able to reach a certain level of expertise on a topic, I find it becomes easier to concentrate on few things (signal) and ignore the rest (noise).
