The smartest thing one can do after reading a book is to act on the newly obtained information.
Too often we read books that are meant to propel us in our career, in our love life, in our world, but don’t because we remain inactive after we close the cover.
While we have every intention of putting an authors advice to work, we more often think about the next book we’re going to read and all the things we have yet to do today.
Better, I believe, to take 5 minutes and apply the knowledge you just spent time acquiring (before it is forgotten).
It’s not to say your action needs to be taken at work. It can be as simple as sharing the knowledge in a blog post or calling a friend who you think the knowledge can help.
You can’t call yourself a professional if you don’t do the reading.
You can’t call yourself an artist if you don’t find an application for what you have read.
Stay Positive & You’re An Artist, Right?
