Doing It Two Times in a Row

It's easy to get one day of practice in. To work out for one day. To put a little bit of time into writing for one day.

The hard part is getting two days in a row. If you can get past the second day, you may be on your way to building a streak.

You can get some practice at this coming off of Christmas.

Christmas is one of those days where it's easy to be generous, giving, thankful, and joyous. Many family holiday movies tell us that we can technically do this all year round. And we probably should.

But why is it so hard?

Because December 26th becomes a normal day again.

All the more reason to use December 26th as "second-day-in-a-row practice" at being all the things you love being on Christmas.

Give it a try, come back, and let us know what happened.

Never miss a blog post!

For parents, students, and anyone else who believes that music can and should be a meaningful part of everyone's life.

When 2 + 2 = 10

When it comes to practicing, most people don’t get how time works. People think the amount of practice time is most important. Rather than the frequency. Logic tells us this: Practicing 5 minutes for six days would be the same as practicing 30 minutes for one day. It adds up to the same total minutes, so the benefits are the same.
