Compare Two Ways to Spend Leisure Time on a Hobby or Skill You Are Learning

You spend leisure time on something you want to improve at, but not all time spent is equal. Watching videos feels like learning and sometimes is not. Drilling feels like progress and sometimes builds the wrong thing. This compares the two approaches you are using, works out what each actually builds, and tells you which to prioritise given your level and the time you have.

Compare these two ways of spending leisure time on the hobby or skill described, and tell me which will help me improve more given the situation.

For the two options described:
1. What each actually develops (the skill or knowledge each builds versus what it feels like it builds)
2. How each fits the energy level and time available described
3. Which is more likely to produce improvement over the next month, given the stage described
4. A recommendation and a caveat: the one thing that would make the other option the right choice
