Create and Learn

In a canoe, if you decide to row only on one side what will happen? You will go around in a circle. So why are you only studying? If you're only learning a craft but not putting into practice what you learn, you're shotting yourself in the foot. I have spent a lot of my time learning new techniques and software however I can't find time to create. I have committed everyday to learn about programming but now I'm committing some days to only creating. Because what's the point of knowledge if you're not going to do anything with it?
