Greetings!
I started late in life; been playing about 2.5 years with 2 years in TAC. If I hadn’t learned to just practice each day, do what I can in the time I had, and then move on; I would have stalled, never kept going. It would have been a chore. Each day did add to my skill, experience, and total ability to play; but it came incrementally. Now, daily lessons that were too much before are doable. You can favorite some also if one strikes a chord (pun intended), and go back to it.
Eventually I applied what I learned to some songs. I developed a routine where I warm up with some things learned; do the daily lesson (sometimes also a skill course); and then work on or play a song or two.
I was not as experienced as you are when I started, and everyone is different, but I would avoid the chasm of perfection you can fall into. Do the best you can with the time you have daily; and yes; let go.
Enjoy the journey; keep doing your song leader thing; and let TAC add tools to your skill box “as time goes by”. Take good care!
