Keeping up with the stock market

This year I really want to do a better job of monitoring world economics ( stock market, bond market, sectors, futures, commodities, etc)

I usually get overwhelmed with the sources of information out there and have a hard time following daily events. I would like to get your opinion on a repeatable process to follow the markets every day. Ex: What to read, what to watch, what charts or symbols to review, books to read, etc. I subscribed to the WSJ but cancelled because I never really could find the time to go through the entire magazine.. How do you read it? From the morning to the evening, please share best practices.

Thanks!
