How do you balance producing results with learning new skills?


On the one hand, I'd like to produce a few graphs every week so my project can move forward. Taking a month off to learn a new programming language, do a literature review, or work through a relevant textbook would hurt the pace of my research, and my advisor would wonder why I haven't done anything for a month.


On the other hand, if I take time off to learn a new skill, it may make my research faster and more efficient in the future.


What is the best way to balance these competing demands?
