I consume quite a bit of content reading, as well as listening and watching. I was once told when I was in school getting my dance degree, the way to make dance that is engaging and relevant is to consume as much as possible. I think this goes for any art form. If you want to write, read as much as possible and find the topics that intrigue you.

Consider this an a la carte menu…take what you want and leave the rest. There are pieces of books and such that really resonate and other things within the same book might not and that’s ok, both can be true. This has been a practice for me in so many ways not just consuming content.

At any given time I am in the middle of multiple books, podcasts, docuseries, etc. I have a certain podcast for science, one for history, one that makes me laugh and same goes for books. I have a book I am reading that is fiction for pleasure, another in the medical genre for work related wellness topics, and so on. This works for me.
