I am always looking to grow. I have a system for pushing on my knowledge, and I thought I would share with you so you can build your own process from these nuggets. Here are practices you can incorporate:

Use Apple Notes. I take handwritten notes all day on nice legal pads. For information I want to keep, I write them up again in Apple Notes. It's easy to search and review this way based on keywords, and it's always in my pocket and across my iCloud devices.
Set up a reading area. I have various books I am working through all the time. I have a comfortable chair, lamp and a side table for drinks. I make it inviting to read. My reading area is not my computer working area. It is separate and a focused place. I keep my active books on my Kindle and bookshelf ready to pick up between meetings.
If I see a Youtube video, blog article or newsletter that is helpful to someone, I share it by email with my own thoughts. This makes me think about the use case, provide some strategy for others and have something saved in my Gmail to reference.
I consider others experts. If you simply are curious and interested in other people, you learn a lot. I like asking questions on topics people spend much of their working time thinking about. If there are nuggets, I put them in my task list to follow up on.
