I have 8 tasks I have to do every single day, Monday thru Friday. Those 8 tasks are what help me ensure I don’t leave anything undone.
It seems silly, but I use a kids sticker chart to track it. When those 8 tasks are done, I get to mark them off on the sticker chart.
In the 16 weeks since I started using the chart, I’ve missed one task. I’m 639 for 640.
If this was baseball, I’d be a legend.
Your practice sessions work the same way. Set goals or your practice will go nowhere. Pick a goal – a song to learn, a riff you haven’t quite got down, anything really.
Once you’ve set the goal, figure out what you need to do to get there. Those are your tasks. Write them down and do them every day until you’ve reached your goal.
Simple and effective.
