the balance between creating content vs learning new things
I don't think these two things need to be mutually exclusive. I go deeper on this in my post "Leaving Breadcrumbs", but in general I think that creating content about the things you're learning is a great way of accomplishing both. I've found that having to explain a topic helps reinforce the material for and motivates me to really make sure I understand what I'm writing about. It can also serve as a form of notes for you to go back to later if you need a refresher.
Not only does this help yourself, but the content you may help someone else. After all, you might bring a fresh perspective to the topic that an experienced person might not!
That's all kind of a bonus, though... cause even if it doesn't help anyone and no on reads it, at least you've learned something!
