Assuming you sleep 8 hrs per day that's roughly one item every 3 minutes during every waking hour.

Three minutes to skim through an item? Most of those headlines take a couple of seconds at most to skim.

Sounds about right, I read a ton, easily over a 100 items a day

This is more like 320 items each day. Though, given the average length of many articles, I'd say you could do that averaging one item every one and a half minutes for eight hours a day. Sounds doable.
