Since I mostly write about making strange connections between programming/Agile to other disciplines, I start by reading a non-programming book. And since I really enjoy the happiness I get from reading Buddhist writings and other philosophy, I typically start with a book like that. Then I mentally wander until I’m able to come up with a (hopefully unique) connection. But ultimately, I care less if the idea is unique and I just try to hold onto the hope that the idea would be something helpful to at least one person. :)
