A core facet of guitar practice is goal setting.
To place it bluntly – you must set goals!
I'd like to explain why that is so important. Hopefully my explanation will reveal so how important, and incredibly powerful, this technique is if you wish to be constantly improving as a guitar player.
If you set goals you give your sub-conscious mind something clear to concentrate on.
When you take note of your goal, and commit to doing it, you've set something in motion. By writing it down, you're rendering it much more likely to happen.
So, you must set some goals and write them down.
I understand this may sound unimportant to you at this time, particularly if you have never used this technique before.
But trust me on this…Before I set goals to work on in my practice I was highly frustrated with having less results I was getting.
Goal setting keeps you focused and makes you receive what you would like from your own practice.
Also, if that you don't set goals, there isn't anything clear to measure how well you've progressed. This could imply that that you don't progress much at all, or that you don't notice your progress.
This could cause insufficient desire to play guitar and insufficient desire is really a 100% guaranteed approach to failure.
That's not what you would like, can it be?
So, in conclusion:
You should cover each one of these points:
• Your must set long-term and short-term goals.
• You should read & review your goals when you practice.
• You should focus on completing these goals while you're practicing.
• When you finish practicing, review your goals and tick off the goals you've completed.
• If you miss a goal, don't worry! Review the goal and decide if it absolutely was realistic enough. When it wasn't realistic, change it out until it is. If you still feel it's realistic, leave it there and work on it next time.
• It will help to make your goal time limited. (E.g. Within 30 days) This will help keep you focused and accountable.
