I recommend binge skimming of books, blogs, magazines, looking for ideas and viewpoints. "Speed understanding," Asimov called it. Mark the content that is novel to you, that is beyond your understanding, that you disagree with, that challenges your thinking, that makes you reflect or reevaluate, sparks your imagination. And so conversely avoid reading further things well known to you, that only confirm your thinking, that you agree with, that is spoon-fed to you, that doesn't demand of you to apply its capital even after the cover is closed. It's the deliberate practice of synthesis, analysis, and evaluation of reading that is the heart of all creativity. One doesn’t discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. - Gidé
