Ask HN: How can a person be less theoretical and more practical?

I'm a 28 year old college dropout and recovering burnout with a passion for design, development, solving problems. I got some good feedback from a friend/mentor today who has been trying to help me grow. I've come a long way in the last year with some big changes like not drinking alcohol or smoking weed for 10 months, quitting meat, getting out of debt, starting a consultancy. I know I still have a ways to go though and am trying to take his advice to heart. I know it's a broad question but I don't think I know a place better than HN for the balance of theory and practice. Thanks for helping me out.
