This is terrific! I fall victim to playing too fast and playing the parts I do better at. I'm starting to stop when I make a mistake, and work it out before moving on. This is a great list!
Thanks for this Dominic. My problem is no 12, motivation. I've got a busy job that wears out my brain and fills it with stuff, which makes it hard to switch off in the evening and get a clear head to practice. I've tried doing my practice 1st thing in the morning before starting work, but that doesn't work either. I suspect the answer is to just do what I can!

So easy to fall into these! Good luck with it!

Absolutely! If it's possible to form into a habit or routine first thing, that's always best! Good luck with it!! 😊
