I'd say an even balance of writing and reading. For reading content I think anything that's interesting to you and published would be helpful. Technical reading is better than nothing, but not very fun to read generally.

Try to write more! Do it creatively so it's something that you enjoy. Have your friends read what you write and provide feedback. Writing helps you formalize your ideas and allows you to see errors you make concretely.

I didn't mean to imply a computer would be dishonest! What made you ask that question?
Awesome app. A few comments:

- It'd be really nice to see a weekly view of the calendar because I can't see more than 3 things at once on a day.

- After about 30 minutes of leaving the page open the drag-and-drop functionality on the calendar breaks and my browser (Chrome) thinks I'm trying to drag a link around.

- Marking things as complete is an absolute necessity here. Most individual users will be using this as an advanced task list. Trello just added this functionality, so it would be good timing and help keep them from getting an upper-hand here.

In general it's an awesome idea. Let people view their data in the form they want and let them track what they want. However the interface is a bit sluggish. If all of the inputs were live inputs (actual input tags, not elements you click on and then get processed and turned into inputs) it would probably feel much more responsive.
