I like this piece a lot. Let me add one more thing to the list:

“Be literally reflexive about everything you read, right after you read it, (especially on things that are so good to the brain and the mind like articles in the Medium)” — writhe them down, in other words.

The last step the author suggests about saying out loud what he appreciates at the end of the day is quite similar in principle to this. Writing down your reflection on things you’ve just read literally enables you to maintain the lesson from the story much better as well as trains your brain to think reflexively so that the lesson can be stored for the critical and immediate use.

This is my written reflection of this piece.
