My practice time is an always-elastic period of time during the day that I’m constantly trying to improve the productivity of. Everyone’s goals for the time we spend with our instruments are going to be different, but there are some common threads, no matter what your goals, that I think are important to understand and build upon when it comes to your learning process.

Make sure you check out the sheet music and tab at the bottom of this post of the exercises I highlighted in today’s routine.

This episode looks at:

* How to work around real life and be consistent in your practice

* How to practice anytime without your instrument

* When you should commit to the art no matter what vs when to have a day job

* The insane amount of “extra” time I now have after eradicating social media

* What just 20 minutes a day can do for you if you do it every day

* That it’s okay if you find you’re not as committed to the process as you thought you were

* You can’t just skate by with fake-guru/mindset-only frameworks. At some point, you simply have to commit to the work
