She was given unlimited time and resources to create a show. And she bombed. She struggled and iterated and in the end, it was far from her best work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back afterward, she realized that she thrived in a tighter environment. A deadline, a smaller budget, a limited number of dancers. These are creative constraints, and they helped her to focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In guitar practice, we also do best with some sort of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/guitar-practice-schedule\/\">structur<\/a>e. When we can practice anything we want, for any length of time, we often get very little done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, most of us thrive with a set amount of time and some sort of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/positive-agenda\/\">agenda<\/a>. Most of us reach deeper focus and attention when we don\u2019t have to decide what to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we first sit down and pick up the instrument it helps to have already chosen a route. This way, we can immediately put our attention on something specific. And this in turn leads to high chances of deep learning and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/practice-vs-playing\/\">progress<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sound too rigid? We can still allow ourselves as much freedom we need each day. Having a list of practice areas can act as guide, without stifling. We can always decide to do something else if the mood calls for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of learning guitar is learning to practice. And this means we learn to impose creative constraints and limits on how we spend our time. When we do, we enjoy music more and get more done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday Quotes are short explorations of music, life, and the daily endeavor of practicing classical guitar.&nbsp;Find more here.
