How do you all get motivated to practice when you are feeling very unmotivated?
Like getting motivation to do most other things I break it down into small chunks to get me started...
Do I have the motivation to:
Walk to my sax case...
Open it and take out my sax...
Set it up whilst listening to a previous recording of me (a good one!)..
Practice a few scales, long tones etc...
Play a favourite tune...
By that time I`m usually under way. If not, I repeat the last step until I have sufficient desire to continue with stuff I wouldn`t have just "jumped" at.
Actually, most times I have no difficulty at all finding motivation to play my sax. Just sometimes I have other menial tasks (eating, washing, shaving etc) that I lack motivation to do
