Here is one method that I use all the time to keep up on some great new ides.  Aberdeen's latest benchmark reports are a great tool to keep up with research and effectiveness relative to various company ROI on CRM technologies such as Field Sales Automation, Mobile Phones, Work Flow Management, etc.

My habit is to print them out to PDF, put them in a @reading folder (for all you GTD’ers) and take it with me to lunch to read. 

Here is a list of reports from last week.
