Write and keep writing. Find the connections between the disparate fields.

You have to write your thoughts down because you'll have so many you'll forget them.

Buy a bunch of lovely notebooks and coloured pens and write all your thoughts. Your thoughts and how you write will change over time.

I did nothing but write in my note books under the heading 'Thoughts and Feelings' for 10 years or more based on some advice a therapist gave me a while back.

Also going to see a therapist is fun if you have lots of thoughts. They're like a 3rd party interested in psychology who is paid to listen to your thinking out loud. Sometimes they can listen to your random collection of words and thoughts that pour out of your mouth and find a kernel or thread that runs through it all.

I was going to suggest this, but take it a step further and consider writing commercially. A huge number of press articles and books have been written just to explain subjects to other who are not professionals in the field, but have an incessant curiosity about many subjects. A casual search will turn up innumerable explanations of how, for example, machine learning works, or what quantum computing could do, what the Mars rovers have found, or what GMO foods are. IMHO, these articles and books provide a meaningful social service in keeping people informed on subjects which could impact society or their lives.
