12 Hour Practice - Thoughts?

I think that plenty of gigging made the greats, great.

Been working as gatekeeper for 2 months now. The pay is low but they pay for me to practice 16 (some days 24) hours a day. 24-hour shifts.
No self discipline needed - there is nothing else to do.. and the practicing part was the reason why to go to that job
Bonus, there are no breaks or leaving the post at all. That means I can bring only healty food in proper amounts. This much self control I do have

Anyway. You could try this, if monetary ambitions (...lack of those, rather) allow. I think I could do a few years like this, maybe.

If you have fun - that is the most important. Props to you for even attempting that much practice in one stretch. I tried pushing myself like that once and ended up zoning out, kind of like when I sit too long in front of the PlayStation playstation.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html and lose track of time. Shorter, more focused sessions seem to work better for me. I think breaks help the material really sink in. Still, I respect the grind—it’s clear you’ve got serious dedication to your playing
