Power outage didn’t happen, woke up early to do all my stuff and now I’m feeling drained and tired like I have a hangover.

Bleh

I didn’t get out of bed today. Slept all day. Not sick, at least I don’t think so, but I just could not be fucked.

I did some laundry before turning in so I’m going to spoon with the old baby until it’s time to feed her and then maybe do some folding if it’s dry. There’s paperwork I should at least start. Also the vitamin d weekly tablet I haven’t been taking.

Deciding whether I should try to take something at midnight in an attempt to sleep through.

That's... Not blueberries

It would make more sense if the strawberry flavour was raspberry, so they just cheaped out and recoloured the raspberries blue. But no, the strawberry flavour has strawberries on the packaging, grapes for grapes, but recolouring raspberries blue would be more work than just using an image of actual blueberries.

Make it make sense! 😭

Back from seeing the new Jurassic World movie. So much dinosaurs eating people. Easy watching action movie, they have their place. 3.5/5

So I've been doing piano and guitar lessons for about six months, one instrument every fortnight. I'm not consistent enough in my practise, so I'm thinking about just doing guitar lessons. I've had some piano experience before and although I still suck, I don't suck at it as much as I suck at guitar.

I really want to be more consistent with practise and also being active. What are some barriers that you experience with forming consistent habits?

Think of it like this:

5 minutes practice is better than no practice at all.

I make myself do it before I play. And even when I only do 5 mins a day, the results become obvious quickly, and I've been playing half my life.

Also, practice can be less boring if you make it musical and not just practice technique. You could record a really basic chord progression in C major, and play your A minor scale over the top and try to mess around and come up with some little melodies.

For technique, I would recommend using a metronome app. Start real slow.

Sorry for the overload

No worries at all. If you want more ideas, shoot me a message :)
