Reflect on what you consume to increase your creativity
Creativity can be broken down into a process:
- Consume lots of sources
- But no faster than you can reflect on them and take notes. It's pointless to consume a lot without reflecting because you don't learn anything.
- Collect your notes in one place and organize them in collections around topics/questions/etc.
- As your collections grow larger you'll see patterns in them and notice missing pieces. Identify a theme in one of your collections and write about it in an essay, blog post, note for yourself, or another creative output.

Tips to reflect on what you consume
There is no best way to reflect. Do whatever works for you depending on the content you consume, your mood, and how much time you have available:
- Write your opinion
- Save a quote
- Extract an important idea
- Associate it with something you already know
- Or a combination of all of the above
Beware of wasting time trying to write the perfect notes or to synthesize everything that was said. Focus on writing good enough notes that you can come back to later.
