Reminding myself of the quote:

“I know that I know nothing.” — Socrates

Also helps with keeping my curiosity high and judgements low.

This article also reminds me of this quote:

““Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise; seek what they sought.”―Matsuo Basho

The method I use to fill those “gaps” and be creative is to simply combine two random concepts and try to discover whether they can be combined at all e.g. I made the connection between autism and the cognitive load theory this way.
