Hello @Brian2501 ;
Yes, I have read your most recent comment, and I will respond to that also, but 1st I wanted to respond to this one as I obviously missed it. I would have responded had I seen it.
Yes, taking a little time off can really help. And yes, our routine does change some as time goes on.
I’m not sure what kind of magic goes on when we take a break and come back better. But, I have experienced it as have others. I’ve never figured out a proper schedule of down time or heard anyone talk about it. I suppose just allowing life it’s little up and downs and all arounds is good enough.
But I totally understand our routine changes. We progress and need to alter our practice sessions accordingly. It is slow and we might be on a particular phase for quite awhile. But if we are diligent, it won’t be years, but only months before we need to make adjustments. And those adjustments are the proof that we are indeed making progress just in case we didn’t do a good job of keeping track of our small wins.
As far as listening to music while you mow the lawn, I do that also, though I don’t have the sound deadening head phones. I just use my hearing aids, which would be like you using your ear pods without the ear muffs.
Anyway, I’m glad you are doing well and making progress in your guitar journey.
