Yes. When I'm studying math, I work best if I just dive right into the practice problems, then go back and review the notes as needed. Once I find a challenge and get hooked on a problem that I can't quite answer, I'm fully focused. I focus best when I have an immediate challenge or a problem to solve. Same for coding - diving right in to stimulate myself, and then I can start thinking of solutions/designs as I tinker with the small stuff and (re)acquaint myself with the structure/API.
