what is something you're genuinely interested in? whenever you reach a point where you're content w/ what you're studying, study what interests you. You're probably young so that might take some time to figure out. For me it's reading about my ancestors and their way of life, and its very fulfilling. Good luck (OP).

yep

Just got to keep reading, you'll get used to it.

It does, but you have to have practical experience too. Read a hundred books about judo techniques and proper execution, but you'll still get thrown immediately when you try for the first time.

Actually do judo and you'll get better at judo quicker. Add reading to that, and you'll get very good very quickly.

Reading something != internalizing what was read. If you actually acted on the wisdom of say, Plato, your life would be quite different.
