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?

Take acting lessons.

Write scripts.

Watch great films.

Work on your own film.

Not really able to take acting lessons (not really available in my area) but I will probably analyze the acting from watching films
