I often say that I have some of my best ideas when I am talking something over. The act of communicating my feelings and thoughts about a topic help to trigger other, new thoughts. I know that when I am prevented from talking to with people — due to a heavy work schedule or other commitments — my thinking suffers.
Perhaps you could put together a regular meeting of some like-mined folks to help you think some new thoughts, too, or help you better understand a topic you are all learning for the first time.
Do you have a “study” group or just an informal gathering of folks on a regular basis? Tell us about it in the comments.
