I’m new to TAC and guitar playing so I can’t weigh in directly – however, if the question of whether you are stretching yourself too thin pops into your mind, you likely are. In other hobbies I tend to look for language I use around the hobby (I do a lot of woodworking) if I catch myself saying I “have to” in reference to my hobby rather than “I get to” I know that I’m nearing burnout.
For me in woodworking – if I’m learning something new I practice only that skill for a brief amount of time really focusing on the specifics that day. For TAC that could be a song of the day. Do 10 min focused and repeat.
If I’m working on getting improvements out of an existing skill that is where I’ll give myself more time – 2 hrs of flow state. I know the skill, I just look for repetition and opportunities to grow the skill. For TAC that could be a day where you play the songs you know and look to find 1-2 things you like and want to improve.
That way you aren’t looking for 2hrs each day, but 10 min some days, 2 hrs when it’s available.
Avoiding burnout helps us keep hobbies from gathering dust I find.
Cheers!
