The process of taking a step back and abducting insights out of your recent experience is extremely valuable.

These little insights will help you be more effective at what you're doing, accelerating your output.

But it's hard to find time to do it.

One way to do it is to mentor someone--you're helping distill out seeds of insight for the other person, but those insights can help you, too!

All of this is turbo-charged when you use a knowledge management system; each little seed of insight you create is captured for the long-term.

If you have a regular process to abduct insights and put them in your knowledge management system, it's like you're mentoring yourself.
