Create an iterative loop with three major steps in it:

1. Consume external knowledge by reading books, watching videos, taking classes, etc.

2. Apply the new knowledge, plus your intrinsic store of knowledge to whatever problem you're working on.

3. Note mistakes, lessons learned, synthesis of ideas between "new" and "old" knowledge, etc. Update your bank of intrinsic knowledge.

Lather, rinse, repeat.
