- By changing your view. See this research paper, an excellent read.
- By writing in a free flow because it's a way of thinking, it should be able to take you back to the intended topic.
- By taking notes and having an always running ideas list.

- By paraphrasing what you learn or even trying to simplify what you read so as to teach others, at least the kid inside yourself.
- By listening more people genuinely. People have issues. As soon as you listen them, they will give you a world of information of themselves, their problems, etc.
