I bought an “egg timer” cube that has different times on each side. I give Tony 10 minutes each day to learn a new technique and if I am enjoying myself I may play longer. Then I practice a handful of different strumming patterns going from one cord to another. Sometimes it’s some pattern I have found in a song or sometimes it’s just random cord to cord transitions. Next it’s playing some simple single note riffs, power cords, or openings to songs that I have found online.
So at the end of playing I have learned a new technique, practiced strumming and cord transitions, and played something that actually sounds like music. Sometimes I play a lot longer and some days 30 minutes is my max. For me it’s about creating a daily routine and having fun along the way.
