When will you cease your fruitless bait thread spamming? You're wasting your time, you silly fellow.

These aren't mutually exclusive, anon. You're supposed to do both. You can't finish literally every drawing.
Sketching is for studying, practice and for fun. When studying something, sketching helps you understand whatever it is. Practicing would be working on your fundies, like box drawing or whatever. When for fun, it helps you to develop your invention and imagination skills while, naturally, just being fun. It's important to make FINISHED work, because refining work into a finished state is also it's own distinct set of skills you need to learn.
As much as you need to learn to let go, you also need to learn to be decisive and follow through.
If you set your mind to making a finished piece, you're going to burn through some shitty sketches in the planning stage as you figure out exactly what you need/want to do. So again you can't treat just any old sketch like your firstborn, you have to pick your favorite child and abort the rest.

Long story short, listen to Peter Han and learn to sketch with pen. When it makes sense to do so of course. It's only going to help you, especially with the exercises he has in mind.
I personally switch between mediums, colors and whatnot just for the heck of it and I prefer ballpoint pens mostly because of their versatility (super light pencil-like sketching to dark ink lines on demand) and range of colors.
