Watch videos for 1 hour = Expose yourself to new ideas on how things are done, before you ever need to use them.

Would it be best for me to take 1 hour of non-stop practice and then 1 hour of watching videos, or would it be better to practice for 30 minutes, then take 30 minutes of watching videos, and then do another 30 minutes of practice (perhaps mixing some of the standard techniques with some of what's covered in the videos I watch), and then 30 more minutes of watching videos? I can see advantages to both ways of splitting it, really. The first way allows me to have a longer non-stop practice session, but the other option allows my fingers to get a half-hour break before trying some new stuff (which wouldn't hurt, I think, since they still easily get sore after only 15 minutes, at most). But I'd like your opinion on which method you would recommend.
