Ask HN: What are your habits for continued learning and/or career growth?

I am focusing more on building things with tools I have never used before. Constantly retrospecting my choices in professional and personal life to find ways to do things better. Also the usual - reading books, blogs, following better and smarter people on Twitter. I avoid LinkedIn... it's just an echo chamber on high-fives now.

Challenging myself. Reading books that are hard and maybe not relevant to my current job but super interesting and provoke ideas. Most recent example is The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World by Iain McGilchrist.

Reading, experiencing life, balance between mental and physical activities, creative self-expression, trying to view the world from a perspective other than my own.
