much more can be achieved or revealed, if we don’t do things for the sake of ritual (a thing we must do according to status quo). Its a sort of stretching of the bounds or going beyond the horizons of ontology

So to me you pursuing your learning via a method that works for you (practical, hands-on) is exactly what I would want to see, and that's going to look different for everybody.

By work I mean the set task we say every person has to complete despite not everyone actually needing to do the same thing the same way. It's the doing a job because I need to tick it off so my boss can tick off that I did a job, so their boss can tick off etc. Work is the silly stuff that gets in the way of learning.
