So, bear with me. I think I've got a similar problem with music. I have a good ability to improvise, and play tunes that come into my head. And I've got a decent grasp of music theory. But I find relating improv to the theory(and making deeper sense of music that's written down) really hard. I've got a collection of texts that I can go through, and I've found lately that starting on a random key of the day I roll a dice - has really helped me on both sides - in that I've got a bunch of kinds of exercises I do for practice, but the piece of randomness helps me with finding things to practice, that help me broaden my existing knowledge and practice. What does this mean for you? Well maybe you need to pick a random page of a suitable book each day, find the start of the section for that page, go through it and then see if you can think of any exercises or things you need to do to help you with your knowledge consolidation from that.
