Probably doing things for which you have little experience, or are bad at, instead of just doing the day job. For example, I can write templates without much thought, keep my functions small and well-named, etc. Extra practice isn't going to get me very far in that regime. Reading about and designing scaleable systems, or implementing efficient data structures, or practicing problem solving in a recursive way will be much more fruitful for me personally.
