What kind of domain is your question aimed at…? Tech in general? Programming, culture, movies, music, etc…? The answers will heavily depend on the domain, IMHO. So feel free to elaborate on that (^_^) With that said: One way for me to focus better is to read stuff on paper. E.g. books. One can’t doomscroll a book. And a really good book is just too enjoyable to skim, IMHO. Reading newspapers can also be great for inspiration. Suggestion: Go to a newsstand and grab a copy of The Economist. In my experience, every single issue of The Economist will contain something interesting. Not only regarding politics and business but arts, culture and technology. Reading The Economist is a great way to becoming a well-round person. Best of luck!

Sure! When I mentioned everything, I really meant it :p .It may be the small things in life, like an obscure bookstore near your home, a contraption that you didn't even know existed but then changed your life once you discovered it or a beautiful hike so close to your house that you were surprised to know you didn't discover it before. You get my point. We are always looking for something, I just wanted to know if there is a better way to discover the things already known to other people. Search engines are good at showing us what we ask for, but how do I search for something I don't know? Is there some place like Beng's blog where I can find exciting new stuff?

  This made me realize that my "everything" doesn't overlap at all with yours! Which may help you narrow down... I'm into e.g. discovering new subjects to learn about, new writers, new music, meeting new people, getting better at art/music/programming.. And all your things seem to be.. in the real world! Physical things, mostly in a particular location. And I realized mine aren't. I do like the sound of yours though. Good luck!
