 - Think of some (smaller) project you've had on your mind for a
while, and try to implement it using clojure
 - Read all of the incoming questions on this list, or StackOverflow
if you prefer.  Read the questions, and before reading the answers try
to see if you can figure out the problem first, then compare your
solution to the responses.  As you get more confident, try answering
some questions yourself.

It can only help, learning a little bit about Java (the language, the
jvm, and the periphery) won't hurt you.  Same goes for learning more
about Javascript for ClojureScript, .NET for ClojureCLR, etc.
