I’m trying something new here. I’ve created a new category for “Music”. I’ll create a weekly post to track my practice times on each instrument. Nothing fancy, just the amountof time I spend each day. It’ll be a sort of concrete way to send my practice out into the universe so that the benefits might flow back to me, whatever those benefits might be. I’m not going to get anal with this. I don’t plan to track the total number of time spent each week practicing, because it’s more about seeing that I’ve been playing music consistently. At this point, it’s not as important that I practice for hours and hours each day, but that I make music a consistent part of my life. I’ll keep it simple: One post each week for all the instruments, which I’ll update throughout the week. The goal is to be able to look back on this week and say “Yes, I played music consistently this week.”
One other observation from my practice tonight: Now that I have my apartment cleared, it feels much easier to make my studio my “practice place”. I don’t want my instruments scattered all over the apartment as I did before. This gives me a sacred space to play music and makes it much easier to associate practicing with that place.

I’ve decided to track practice differently. All of these posts have been aggregated into my practice tracking page.
