My Routine
I spends 15-20 minutes in the morning on the daily challenge. Then, maybe review it in the evening, along with just playing around for pleasure. I put Wednesday Improvisation challenges in my favorites. On Saturday, I spend a few minutes reviewing the M/T/Th/F challenges. On Sunday, I will review/replay 3-5 of the Improvisation challenges, as I didn’t think that playing a solo would ever be in my future. What are some other ways you all remain consistent?

I try to spend a weekend playing session on song review along theme lines like Love Songs or Flatpicking Tunes or Religious Songs or Traveling Songs or Protest Songs or Country and Western Sings. It’s fun and motivating.

To maintain consistency I make sure I bring up the daily challenge learn video every day and at least start watching it. While that starts playing I go to my OneNote app on my laptop where I have all the TAB sheets for every challenge and bring up the lesson of the day. I grab one of my guitars and attempt the beginning of the challenge. I go as far as I can get in 10 -15 minutes then I mark complete.
I typically don’t watch the entire learn video since I am keeping my session short and just focused on doing as much as possible during those first 10 minutes. Later on if I am free to continue or if I am coming back later I will relax and take time to watch closely if necessary and maybe rehearse parts of today’s or another day’s lessons. I do more than one daily session on most days and I just do whatever song or exercise that interests me.
I just try to be very intentional at first. Some videos are more than 10 minutes long, if you watch all that you probably haven’t played very much.
