1. Wikipedia surfing: start w/ a topic & follow links therein. eg: Johnny Cash to Sun Records to Gibson Les Paul to Jimmy Page to Lynard Skynard to Buddy Holly to Patsy Cline

☝🏼Both are little games I play when I’m bored. But after you do them for awhile it’s amazing how broad your knowledge & awareness becomes because you’re only partially choosing the next topic.
So you are educated outside your normal comfort zones 👇🏼

Crazy as this sounds I’ve used knowledge acquired through these surfing techniques & applied it to guest interviews, job interviews, road trips, spicing up writing, holding a phone conversation& even impressing a date!☺️
Even if you’re rolling your eyes try it. It’s fun.
