I know how you feel fellow musician BroTiano! I slip in and out of music production like you describe. Right now, I'm very happy to listen to other tunes and DJ mixes and it's bringing me back to some good feelings and sharing my own take on the tunes.
As for getting distracted during a practice session, I know that all too well. The mind wanders and needs to be kept active doing other things - you have to really love it and get sucked in to the moment of the practice session so it doesn't feel like work!
Welcome back Nickey Mickey space man!
Agree! That is what we know now, with so many years of studying behind us, but sometimes I do feel "lazy" to practice what I have to, although I love it of course. Anyway, discipline should help :D
With children it is more difficult, as they think practicing will be like instant and already good playing.. the process is somehow different, so when they realize that, it is challenging to get them study.
It was so good to find out this morning that I did some progress, hence this post came. However, I don't know, maybe it was just because of the coffee :D
Hahaha, whatever it was, coffee or something else (😁), glad it inspired you a little bit!
