Reflection on how to be a good theoretical physicist: an exercise that I have found helps best sharpen ones physical intuition is to invent your own problems and solve them. Also, play the following game: see if you can maximize the ratio of length of problem statement divided by how much information follows from it, under the constraints of (1) the problem must be well-posed, and (2) you must be the originator of most of the content (it is OK to lift sentences directly from sources that describe concepts that you may be at a loss for words to describe). Of course, now that I type this all out, I may have just described the process of finding relevant things to publish....
