CULTIVATE YOUR OWN CURIOSITY |
Being curious can help you become a better leader, learner, and a more valuable employee. Here are four science-based ways to strengthen your curiosity muscle.
First, ditch all excuses. Stop telling yourself that you’re too busy to learn something new or that it’s on your boss to motivate you to cultivate new skills and find new opportunities. Acknowledge the fact that your curiosity is your own responsibility and set aside time to explore your interests.
Then, find the right angle. Ask yourself what you’d like to know more about and what you want to be an expert in. Set aside 20 to 30 minutes each day to intentionally cultivate those things—whether that’s through reading, writing, or having conversations with like-minded people.
Next, be prepared to change your routine. Don’t underestimate the power of switching when and how you perform your daily tasks; what route you take to work; where you eat; or even what you do on the weekend. Even small changes to your daily habits can have a big impact on your mindset, opening up new opportunities to make connections and expand your curiosity.
Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment and explore. Try things out, especially if they’re not obviously related to your values, preferences, and experiences. Discover the joy of new interests, guilty pleasures, and variety. And if something leaves you bored or doesn’t quite work out, make a change.
