Practice V study

I find it very difficult to practice more than study, and much easier to study a lot and practice a little. This seems to work for me, although I know it is the case for everyone.

I find that if I KNOW something, I can act upon what I know much easier, clearer, and quicker than if I have to learn it by finding out.

I find that if I ACT and then learn what I have done right or wrong from my actions, it is more difficult, complex, and messy than if I already know what t do and err only in the activity.

I therefore like to study a lot, and learn from internal experiences and wisdom as step one, with step two being practicing acting it out and 'fine-tuning' based on the results.

Recently, I have had no brain-time to memorize texts, meditate properly, or focus on the Dharma - due to 'everyday life' being difficult for a while. This has made it essential to act and then learn from the results instead, and I make far more errors this way, which takes much longer.

Hopefully in a month or two, I will have sorted out my hassles and be free once more to study 75% and practice 25%!
