day-2 : is learning equivalent to doing?

hello,

i don't know if i've failed on day-2 itself, or if this is just a part of the process.

let me elaborate on that...

so i was supposed to work on the JavaScript30 course, but instead i spent the day learning React on FreeCodeCamp. as a result of this amazing decision of mine, i'm now confused; was i productive since i learnt something new or did i get distracted from what i was supposed to do?

and this brings me back to my original question in the title : is learning the same as doing with respect to programming?

frankly speaking, i don't think i've wasted my time, as i can now use this new framework in my projects. but at the core, i did get distracted, and that's not acceptable.

however i'm an obsessively optimistic person so i'm gonna take today in stride and get back to my original task of completing one new project everyday involving JavaScript.
