Train like you fight, they say in the military.

Why not come up with a small (personal) project and let reality be your guide? If the work at hand raises a specific question, you can try to answer it immediately by searching online. Everything you'll learn this way is grounded in reality.

What's the point of training in something that you aren't going to apply anytime soon? There's no end to collecting and reading information. It's unconstrained.

Good one. Or what about: Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
