Capture your best ideas and biggest lessons learned in an old-fashioned handwritten journal three times a week. Every year read over what you wrote.
I started doing that in 1986, and I can trace the development of many useful ideas back to their infancy when the first pieces of a particular idea puzzle started falling in place. When you read your notes after after a good distance of time has passed, you will begin to see them in new ways and with new possible combinations.
The master of this is Malcolm Gladwell. Reading his books is like taking a masterclass in writing. Read The Tipping Point, Blink, and Outliers.
