My Routine by the numbers
My Routine will be
1.) How many days per week do you play?
I practice 5 days a week, and play every day
2.) What time of day do you play?
* Daily Challenge in the morning after work in the morning arround 5:45 AM – 10 minutes
* When I wake after a cup of coffee – Fretting hand toolbox about 12:30 PM – 10 minutes
*Practice FBW skills etc for 10 minutes after supper, before I brew my coffee for work about 5:30 PM
* Monday afternoons (I am off Monday nights) study FBW material 30 mins
[PLAY TIME AND ENRICHMENT… THE FUN]
* Saturday (or whenever I can squeeze in time) Just play and enjoy the instrument
* Sunday – Uke Day!! (oh and maybe learn harmonica or dulcimer)
3.) Where do you play?
This will be done at my tiny Desk in my room.
4.) How has implementing a consistent guitar routine helped you? (if possible name 3 ways).
* My Bed is made every afternoon. No really it is because I can’t practice if my bed is a mess
* I learned to use the pick astonishingly (to me) quickly by doing it every day.
* I am slowly becoming able to control performance anxiety. I can pull myself back when I begin to derail… still mistakes though.
Practice and the VOM nights help with this.
5.) Bonus Question: What is one non-guitar item that is a must have in your guitar routine?
* Good Sleep. It is hard to come by, but it has a huge impact on motivation and retention of skills and knowledge. Best I can do is a set sleep schedule even if it isn’t enough most days
The kids are out of the house so no one to take my picture, but here is my practice area.

Third try is the charm right?

@Alfred , you seem to have it going, and the new #famJams on Sundays even more. Great to know you and see your space. But with that schedule, you really should find some playing friends in Australia, New Zealand and China, eh??
Best, always
