I practice more now than I used to, and I appreciate my practice sessions much more as I get older.

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

I used to hate practicing because I thought I was missing something, but I've realized I wasn't missing anything at all.

At the end of the week, even if I only practiced an hour a day, I often find I've made significant progress on a specific issue, which is more fulfilling than just playing casually.

The joy of getting better at a skill often comes from the practice itself, rather than from questioning the method of practice.

As I age, I find beauty in my work that I didn't see before, and I appreciate the moments when everything goes well during practice.

The more I work, the better I get at working, and the more productive I become per unit of time.

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.

If I have a short time to prepare, I switch to higher gears to get things done more quickly, and practicing twice a day can be more effective than once a day. I focus on being efficient with my practice, spending time on what truly matters and avoiding distractions.
