Kudos to the author on getting a blog post out! It’s something I haven’t done in years.
I also used to believe I need to “consume less, create more”...
Since then, it’s become more like “if you want to, then consume meaningfully, take time to digest it, sleep on it, get your mind off it for a while, go consume more, take a break, create something, be bad at it, and create again, and maybe eventually you’ll be good at it”.
Some books that shaped my thought process were:
Where Good Ideas Come From - Steven Johnson
Why We Sleep - Matthew Walker
Also, blog posts about meditation, interviews with prolific movie writer/directors, and that Ira Glass video.
