Since you went from 2 to "output mode", you probably did 1 first. If so, you also probably would not have benefited nearly as much from 2 without having gone through 1. In fact, from my own experiences, 2 sounds like what I think of as a "consolidation phase" where you integrate things you learned earlier.
I did do 1 first, yes. It's possible that I needed to do everything wrong in order to do some things right, but that's just my underparented self. I don't think it applies to everyone.
