I practice slowly and in sections, staying appreciative, aware, and focused, which helps me practice better and struggle less.

I separate practice from playing for enjoyment; mixing the two can lead to insecurities during performances, so I keep them distinct. When I practice, I'm problem-solving rather than just playing.

Practicing should be structured and goal-oriented, differentiating it from simply playing for enjoyment; regular, focused practice is more beneficial than sporadic, unstructured playing.
