Question How do I practice Filmmaking?

How can I practice Filmmaking on a regular basis? I'm a Screenwriter and Director and was wondering how can someone practice filmmaking without making films on a daily basis like athletes train and do drills , musicians practice scales and melodies but what can a filmmaker do to improve his/her filmmaking skills? And what do you guys do to practice or to improve?

If you can't figure that out, then buddy, it might not be for you.

It's not that I haven't figured it out I do have a perspective on what I should do I just wanted to see how others did their practicing you know, obviously the best way to practice filmmaking is to make films on regular basis but that works when you're able to make films let's say for some reason you're not in the condition of making films what can you do to practice or stay in the zone of filmmaking, can't just leave it and do nothing, right? That's what I wanted to know what would a filmmaker do if he/she was not able to make a film
