> poskim are clear that one who only has a short amount of time to learn should learn halacha
I learned from a Lakewood Rav that dividing time in 3 parts – Torah/Mishna/Gemora – means that all 3 need to be finished at the same time, that is one needs more time spent on Gemora, and he meant all 3 areas in a general sense, that is Tanach/Halacha/Ability to reason, not daf yomi. I saw this in writing also, but can’t recall the source right now.
