Definitely enjoy the overall point of the article. But something interesting that's happened in my life is that I've started creating more because I've started consuming more (as some other folks are pointing out in this thread). Maybe it's because I've changed my form of consumption. I've spent 10 or so extra minutes per day reading each night that I had applied to social media consumption. One of those books inspired a thought that became another habit I started, and now I built a whole iOS app I'm launching soon just because of that bit of inspiration I consumed. What's the whole point of this, I dunno, maybe it's not even "consume better". But more like constantly diversify your consumption. "consume different => create more" Don't get into ruts. Keep your consumption fresh. Social media your jam, at least read some different people etc.
