#43When I started reading voraciously, I started having better ideas. Reading is a conversation with an author. Most business and entrepreneur-themed books don't offer new ideas, but they're new to you. When you swirl them around in your own head, you'll have better ideas. For me, I always need to visualize ideas to, so I paper prototype a lot.
"When I started reading voraciously, I started having better ideas." I've noticed this too.
Reading several books at a time - interleaving chapters - makes me see new connections.

#44I realize it's not the main point of this question, but I don't get the Set Godin's idea. If more people were telecommuting, then the in-person interaction would become more scarce, therefore more demanded, so the expectations for the quality would be lower I would think?
You would expect that your counter-party puts in more effort, I would say.

#45Every interesting idea I get, later turns out to be a rehash. Especially the ones I fall in love with. It's some kind of deficiency, wonder if it can be cured.
