When learning new material that doesn't solve any immediate problem, I like to think of that material as being stored in my "table of contents". If I run into that problem in the future, I'll know where to look it up, but if I never run into that problem, it was just a single entry in an easily forgettable table pointing to deeper knowledge that I can disregard.

Same with having a small crack at languages you're not using - it can give you a new perspective on the languages you are.
