We are already using all of our time for something or other.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of trying to \u201cfind\u201d time, it\u2019s much more practical (and effective) to \u201cmake\u201d time.<\/p>\n<h3>Something\u2019s Got to Go<\/h3>\n<p>In order to fit something else into \u201cthe box\u201d that is our day, we must first take something else out.<\/p>\n<p>This means that for everything we want to fit in, something\u2019s got to go.<\/p>\n<p>Want to sleep more? That means you get fewer waking hours.<\/p>\n<p>Want to spend more time with your people? \u00a0That may mean less work, TV, or time in the garage.<\/p>\n<p>Want to practice more guitar? \u00a0Something\u2019s got to go.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Want to practice more guitar? \u00a0Something\u2019s got to go.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Don\u2019t panic\u00a0just yet! You can baby-step into releasing things from your day. With a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/guitar-practice-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gentle strategy<\/a> that doesn\u2019t make any major changes too quickly, you can tweak your day over the course of a few weeks or months and never even feel the loss.<\/p>\n<h3>The Beauty of Non-Negotiables and Reflexive Habits<\/h3>\n<p>Someone (I can\u2019t remember who) said, \u201c99% is hard. 100% is easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t seem like it would be so, but it is. When we have to decide whether or not to do something, it takes energy and willpower, and those resources are not always willing to be tapped.<\/p>\n<p>Some things, like brushing our teeth or going to the bathroom, we don\u2019t make decisions on. They are \u201cnon-negotiables\u201d. They are 100%. No choice necessary. Whether we feel like it or not, they get done.<\/p>\n<p>If you truly want something in your life, make it a non-negotiable.<\/p>\n<p>What helps these non-negotiables to fit into the routine is often what\u2019s called a \u201creflexive habit\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>reflexive habit<\/strong> is an action that happens from the cue of something else.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/before-bed-review-nightly-guitar-routine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">go to bed<\/a>, you first brush your teeth.<\/p>\n<p>In my twenties, I had a hard time making myself floss my teeth. It wasn\u2019t until I made it non-negotiable to floss along with my nightly toothbrushing that it stuck. Now I don\u2019t even think about it. It\u2019s 100%, so it\u2019s easy. \u00a0There&#8217;s no decision to be made.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If you truly want something in your life, make it a non-negotiable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you decide to make guitar practice a non-negotiable reflexive habit, you\u2019ll have better success with it.<\/p>\n<p>Decide when it will happen (first thing in the morning? just after dinner? after the kids go down for the night?). Notice what activity or event is just before your practice time, and use that as your cue to practice.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to describe this is as an ITTT (if that then this) statement. If I just finished dinner, then it\u2019s time for practice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Caution:<\/strong> Perfectionism is a killer. \u00a0The ideal is like the horizon: you can chase it forever and never catch it. \u00a0Your imperative could be simply that you pick up the guitar and play one note at your chosen\u00a0time. \u00a0If you want to continue, wonderful. \u00a0If not, no big deal. \u00a0You&#8217;ve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/beginner-progress-guitar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fulfilled your personal obligation<\/a> for the day and can feel good about it.<\/p>\n<h3>Know Thyself (and Manage Your Expectations)<\/h3>\n<p>One of the biggest saboteurs of a rewarding and gratifying guitar practice life is faulty expectations.<\/p>\n<p>If you think you really \u201cshould\u201d be practicing an hour a day, but you can reasonably only get in half that (or less), then you will perpetually feel like you&#8217;re failing. And no one can sustain a practice with those guilty feelings lurking around.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The ideal is like the horizon: you can chase it forever and never catch it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Instead, take a sober and honest view of what you can reasonably do on a particular day, and set that as your expectation. That way, when you do it, you&#8217;ll feel good that you&#8217;re spending time with something you love and meeting your expectations.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Curse of Too Much Time<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">While it\u2019s easy to find examples of having too much to do and being too busy, there\u2019s also another common situation: too much time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">For many recently retired or nest-emptied guitarists, the problem isn\u2019t that there isn\u2019t enough time, but that there isn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/6-minute-guitar-practice\/\">enough structure<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">You may have noticed that it can take longer to get your food in an empty restaurant than a full one. This is because it\u2019s often easier to get things done when there\u2019s already momentum. Going from 1 to 2 is easier and takes less effort and initiative than going from 0 to 1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">If you have all afternoon to practice guitar, you very well may get less done and see less improvement than if you only had a half hour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">This is often due to lack of structure. If you want to be effective, be intentional and follow a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/guitar-practice-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plan.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Create structure for more effective practice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Even if you do have loads of time, act like you don\u2019t. Set an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/pomodoro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">amount of time<\/a> to practice (you can always go longer if you like), and be focused and &#8220;on point&#8221; for that time period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Having a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/guitar-practice-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">practice plan<\/a> can help you feel more successful in your work, and can ensure that you\u2019re getting everything done that you set out to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Also, setting a time limit can give a slight sense of urgency, which causes the brain to pay better attention and stay more alert. Your practice actually becomes more effective because you&#8217;re more involved and focused.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Finding Energy<\/h1>\n<p>Energy is similar to time, in that you will not just \u201cfind\u201d it. (Unless it&#8217;s behind your magic sofa.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/brendon-burchard\/what-is-high-performance_b_7153652.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brendon Burchard<\/a> likes to say that<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA power plant doesn\u2019t HAVE energy, a power plant GENERATES energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We are the same. Regardless of how tired you are, if you just found out you won the lottery or your house was on fire, you would suddenly generate more energy.<\/p>\n<p>If you can switch your thinking to believe that you&#8217;re in control of your own energy levels and states, you\u2019ll feel more empowered and less like you are at the mercy of your current feelings.<\/p>\n<h3>Common Knowledge vs. Common Practice<\/h3>\n<p>There are some common ways to create more energy in your life. These are things like:<br \/>\n&#8211; Drink more water<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/classical-guitar-technique-exercises-travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Exercise<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; Get plenty of sleep<br \/>\n&#8211; Eat healthy foods<br \/>\n&#8211; Focus on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/positive-agenda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">positive<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; Smile and laugh more frequently<\/p>\n<p>These are \u201ccommon knowledge\u201d, but are they \u201ccommon practice\u201d in your day-to-day life?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Common knowledge, but common practice?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you want more energy, make some small change to one or more of these and you\u2019ll be on your way. (Tip: Make this small change reflexive and non-negotiable, as we talked about above.)<\/p>\n<h3>Energy Strategies<\/h3>\n<p>One of the best ways to manage your energy is to take note of when it gets low, and when it\u2019s at it&#8217;s highest.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel very tired after eating dinner, that may not be the best time to practice guitar.<\/p>\n<p>If you are mentally sharp and energized first thing in the morning, try to practice guitar\u00a0at that time (even for a short session).<\/p>\n<p>The main thing is that you constantly become more aware of the energy you are feeling. That way, you can make more reasonable plans and increase your chances for practicing success. You can also\u2026..<\/p>\n<h3>Generate More When You Need It<\/h3>\n<p>We are not completely at the mercy of our current energy level. We have ways to \u201cpump up the volume\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Besides artificial stimulants (caffeine, sugar, etc.), we can generate more energy by moving around, changing the tone of our self-talk, and using memories.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re feeling lethargic at your \u00a0guitar practice time, jump around wildly! Do some squats or jumping jacks. Blast some loud music and dance for 2 minutes. Make yourself feel silly and start laughing at yourself.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We have ways to \u201cpump up the volume\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We we take on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/how-to-hold-a-guitar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">posture of energy and enthusiasm<\/a> (back straight, head up, eyes alert) we very soon start to feel that way as well. \u00a0Likewise, when we slump and hang our heads, we start feeling tired and mopey.<\/p>\n<p>You can also talk to yourself in an energized tone. Say encouraging, positive things to yourself (\u201cOh Yeah! I am gonna blaze these scales! I Rock! Those <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/how-to-learn-classical-guitar-arpeggios-right-hand-technique\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arpeggios&#8217;ll<\/a> never know what hit \u2019em!\u201d) Thanks Coach!<\/p>\n<p>You can also vividly remember a time when you were at your best and highly energized. If you fully put yourself back in that time and place, you will start feeling the feelings associated with the memory. The trick is fully sensing the memory: bright colors; vivid sounds; the feeling of wind, clothes, water, sun, whatever; the smells; any tastes involved. Make it real! \u00a0You&#8217;ll be amped in no time.<\/p>\n<h3>Beware the Energy Vampires<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s also very valuable to know what activities or situations suck your energy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lethargic after dinner? You may be eating too much.<\/li>\n<li>Feeling negative? Maybe you are around a complainer (or worse, maybe YOU are the complainer! Nooooooo!)<\/li>\n<li>Low energy after work? Maybe you are sitting still for too long and would do better with frequent breaks, or a stand-up desk.<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Mind racing? Maybe you&#8217;re trying to keep too many things in your head. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/guitar-practice-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jotting them down could help<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Decide and Visualize<\/h2>\n<p>The important thing is that you become more aware of your energy and states, and decide to take a small action to make the situation better in some way.<\/p>\n<p>When you find an improvement to make, first fully visualize what it will be like instead of how it currently is. \u00a0This will make the change much more likely to stick.<\/p>\n<p>Just like above, when we accessed an energized memory, put yourself fully into the ideal scene and live it \u201cin advance\u201d. Imagine every detail of the change.<\/p>\n<p>(As an example to start drinking more water, \u201cAt the top of every hour of the morning, I\u2019m standing up and walking to the sink and getting a tall glass of water. I walk past ______, grab a glass from ________, fill it from the ________, and feel it sliding down my throat as I drink the entire glass.
