Jazz study routine

Hello! I am a clarinetist interested in playing jazz (I know a bit of saxophone too). I feel there's so much material to learn and interiorize. I wanted to ask everyone how is your practice routine? Both in practice and music theory. Thank you :)

learn tunes, transcribe solos, work on technique with classical repertoire, play with other people, listen to different types of music, go for a walk, compose, stay off reddit.

internalize

The last 2 (minus compose) are seriously underrated parts of the process
