Practice in a hurry

Practice is most important for improving your guitar playing, but what about the time that you have only a few minutes to do something? I feel that even a few minutes are important, if you can use them correctly. First, don't try to do too much. It is better to do a little, and do it well, than to try to do to much, and end up learning mistakes that you will have to relearn. Try something that is hard, but only a small part of it. Ask yourself, what is the problem here. If I get this right, will it improve my playing? If I get this chord easily, or if I can go through this passage better, that is a good way of using your time. Try to make an improvement that you can see. This way you will know that you have used your time wisely, while improving your overall guitar playing.
