That's a great suggestion—gotta admit, doing more reading and practice can really beef up our knowledge base and spark way more inspiration.

But I'm still curious if there are any external tools or hacks I can lean on, 'cause finishing a whole book or wrapping up a practice session takes forever.

Sorry, but I have to say, it's probably from bingeing too many short videos that's tanking my patience these days.


So, perhaps figure out how to group the short videos to form a higher level composition. (or cohesive concatenation for an anthology) aka Lewis Carroll "Through the Looking Glass" ( No, sending it over fiber doesn't count) Just mind the terms of service on the short videos.

Without a study area/focus, kinda difficult to recommend "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs"[0].

What about a trip to discipline of choice version of MIT's media lab[0]. Take the applied and deconstruct the theory. Use the theory deconstructed to build new applications. Pal Alto's 'media lab' of the day worked for inspiration for Apple.

Tuning in to the music side, research history of The Beetles. "Now and Then" theme song for checking out what was innovative then vs. now. aka studio setup/figure out how to do what want vs. today's equivalent 'iPhone pocket studio'. Suppose with the relevant background, could research the friction between a music teacher instructing students with an electrical engineering background. Was that The Beetles downfall?

For less quantum mania, and more visual, go semiotics & architecture:

Think historically that was group/team shooting the breeze. :-)
