So this is the Practice list I am currently working off of. My plan is to not add anything to this list until something is mastered. It is a total of 60 min of practicing that I can do all at once or through out the day. It is also organized in a do the top first and work down the list manner. 5 min is the default amount of time until I figure out how long it really takes me, the options are 3, 5, 7 min but I can see 10 min also being used. This is also supposed to burn 175 calories as well.

The very bottom is my future expectations for learning books. distant future.

"You will find that deliberate practice is very draining, given the tremendous amount of energy required to keep one’s full attentional resources on the task at hand. Practicing more than one hour at a time is likely to be unproductive and in all honesty, probably not even mentally or emotionally possible. The key is to keep tabs on the level of concentration you are able to sustain."

I don't sit down for an hour all at once, my mind is too sporadic, life gets in the way. Sometimes I spend more time on an individual goal. I spend alot of time playing with others in real life and on the internet. The goal is to do this as a minimum each day, the times make it manageable. 5 min is a very long time when you are focused on one issue at a time. Focus is the key. Planning it out ahead of time is the key to getting to it and staying on it.

other advice from that site:

Keep practice sessions limited to a duration that allows you to stay focused. This may be as short as 10-20 minutes for younger students, and as long as 45-60 minutes for older individuals

Try using a practice notebook. Keep track of your practice goals and what you discover during your practice sessions. The key to getting into the “zone” when practicing is to be constantly striving to have clarity of intention. In other words, to have a clear idea of the sound you want to produce, or particular phrasing you’d like to try, or specific articulation, intonation, etc. that you’d like to be able to execute consistently.

When you figure something out, write it down. As I practiced more mindfully, I began learning so much during practice sessions that if I didn’t write everything down, I’d forget.

@Fiddlestix You have great ideas and I appreciate your thoughts. There are many ways people learn. I am open to anything.

Thats a great Christmas present to us! an Excellent resolution as well.
