Raul, I couldn't agree more. The thing that is often overlooked in learning is the process of reflection after you have learned something.
Reflection is the work of taking the new information and integrating it into what you already know. if you do this, then your chances of deeper understanding are increased. The drawback? Well, reflection does not take place at the speed that you want it to, but rather at the speed that your brain can incorporate the new information. It takes time to build those new connections, so bingeing on the labs might be something better suited for a survey of the J's range of application. Reflection can take many forms, but probably the most effective is the Feynman technique [0] of explaining what you have learned to someone else using simple, easily understandable terms. I find reflection more difficult than other parts of the learning process, but I try to remember that it is harder because it is where the real learning is being done.
