IN A PERFECT WEEK, I will play 5 days, M thru F, or sometimes more when practicing to play guitar at church.  I’ve been a TAC member for over a year now, since February 2020.  The pandemic really threw me and extreme sadness distanced me from my guitar. So 3/4 into last year’s membership, I frantically played catch up.  Once I got caught up, I started sliding again, skipping days at a time, and building a lessons backlog, I didn’t know any better because I hadn’t established the routine.  It’s a lot less stressful to commit to the 10-min Tony M-F.  Fridays feel really great having accomplished these 5 little wins in the middle of the week.  Actually it’s a huge win that took me a whole year to achieve.  My routine isn’t super tight, but has improved dramatically.  With one year experience in TAC, I can attest that playing a little each day is the key to getting better and enjoying the guitar journey.  Breaking tasks into small chunks is so liberating.  I feel in control and know in my gut that any small task I do, in guitar and elsewhere, is progress and enjoyable.  I play morning, afternoon, or evening is WHEN I PLAY.  By evening, if I still haven’t completed the daily lesson, then it’s the evening.  WHERE I PLAY GUITAR is in our ‘computer’ room where I view Tony’s daily lessons, print the Tabs and store my guitar on a stand.  I also continue to play my old songs from childhood!  Occasionally I’ve doctored them up with skills I’ve learned in TAC. Right now I play the 5th Sunday in my church, which is once every 3 or 4 months.  So my routine also includes practicing the church music standbys, and finding new songs to play.
