I think there is more to be said about the topic that organically sticks to you.

I have realized that this depends a lot on what you are "up to" at the moment.

In my experience, I have a really hard time internalizing information about a topic that is far from some topic or work I'm engaged with at the moment.

This means, I think:

1. That you can to some extent influence what you are "up to".

2. That you should probably organize your reading and other learning activities around the seasons of thinking themes in your life [1]

[1] E.g. to me, that often means I'm into quite different themes during work days versus weekends, where I'm often exploring some slightly different topics.

This reminds me a little bit of the idea of affirmations as a filter on the mind.

We tend to notice stuff based on our affirmations.
