My time of day pattern is pretty similar to yours.
As for categories/tags, I don't use them for sorting or indicating priority, but that is a good approach. For me, what works best is to stick to a low number of categories/tags (currently 20), and I find that they usually correspond to what I tend to read and in which order.
I generally always check my "friends" and "comments" feeds about as often as I check my e-mail. Everything else I will pick and choose depending on how much time I have at the moment. I know exactly where everything is, and I know which feeds I will keep items for until I have time to read them, and which ones I will just empty out without reading whenever they get too full (high volume news feeds, mostly).

Also, if I find myself frequently marking all items read in a particular feed (high volume, etc.) without reading them, I take that as a sign that I just need to unsubscribe from that one, rather than keeping it around just in case I ever have time to read it, because chances are I never will.
