Knowledge becomes power when your hands know what to do with it.

Knowledge that stays conceptual can be discussed and not used. It becomes power at the point where it has been practised enough that your hands, or your habits, know what to do with it, and that transfer requires repetition rather than more reading.

Take something you understand in theory and do it badly a few times this week. The gap between knowing and being able to is closed only by that awkward middle stage.
