Re-reading old research, particularly the comments and introduction to the person I made is something I find useful to keep me on top.
When I started my recent job, we started some weekly meetings to discuss future improvements. At the first meeting, I took everyone out onto the streets to ask passers by about our field and what they thought. I guess this is research of a kind, but it removed all the comfort layers that we had from testing in a lab and put us in the front line and in touch with customers who didn't necessarily want to take part in research. I also like to read about art but it doesn't relate directly to my job. I guess it's one of those 'what it is to be a human being' kind of things. Different interpretations on the same piece of art show how varied we can be. @Adrian - it's a good one isn't it? I spent an afternoon in the call centre and we're all planning on visiting local branches soon (staff as well as customers). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
