Planning out your actual practice time

Everybody structures their practice time differently. I advocate that instead of warming up with something technical such as scales or an etude, start the day by reading something you would like to learn, thereby warming up by listening and exploring. The catch is to move on after 20 minutes to the main focus of your practicing for the day. This also makes the practice session more exciting to look forward to!

For example...
Preface-Read and explore. NO MORE than 20 minutes.

Body-whatever you are working on

break

Etude

Body-another work, or back to what was before

use an exercise as a diversion whenever your attention starts to drift.

etc.
