The easiest trap to fall into when practicing a skill is to practice what you already know. If you’re a pianist and sit in front of the piano, it’s easy to just play the 10 songs you love to play and then move on with your life. But playing is not practicing. 

If you’re a guitarist, it’s easy to go through the same motions. If you’re a songwriter, it’s easy to never mix up the process and to just keep writing exactly the same way.
