OK, maybe practice doesn’t actually make you PERFECT. I mean, perfection is not possible, really.

Practice is important but it is imperative that you know HOW to practice so that you can achieve your goals effectively and efficiently.

The two most important steps to practicing effectively are:

1. Set a goal for each practice session
2. Practice mindfully on that goal

Being mindful is really important. Focus on what you are doing, what you want to accomplish, how it’s feeling, etc. The more mindful you are, the less time it will take to achieve that goal.

Just follow these steps every day:

• Make an appointment in your calendar for when you are going to practice
• Write down your goal for your practice time before you start to practice – be specific
• When you are finished practicing, reflect on what worked and what you need to improve upon
• Rinse and Repeat!

I’ve created a Practice Planner to help you on your journey.

Download the Practice Journal HERE.

This planner has 31 pages for one full month’s of sessions. To use it over and over again, make a copy of it and save it with the name of the month you are going to use it. You can fill it out online or you can print it out and handwrite in it.

Most importantly, have fun!
