We’ve all said it: "I’d love to learn guitar, I just don't have the time." ✋🚫
But let’s be honest with ourselves for a second. It’s rarely a lack of time—it’s a lack of prioritization. 📉
If you have 15 minutes to scroll through Reels 📱, 30 minutes to watch a show 📺, or an hour to game 🎮, you have time to pick up the instrument. The difference between the person who plays and the person who "wishes they played" is simply where they put their focus. 🎯
🧠 The Reality Check
Learning guitar doesn't require 4-hour practice blocks. In fact, for a beginner, that’s actually less effective! Your fingers need to build calluses and your brain needs to build muscle memory in short, frequent bursts. ⚡
- 15 minutes a day is better than 3 hours once a week. ⏳ > 🗓️
- Consistency beats intensity every single time. 🔄
- The "Perfect Moment" doesn't exist. There will always be chores, emails, and distractions. 🛑
🛠️ How to Shift Your Priority
- Leave the guitar out: If it’s in a case in the closet, you won't play it. Put it on a stand in the middle of your living room! 🎸🏠
- The "One Song" Rule: Commit to practicing for just the length of one song (3–4 minutes). Usually, once you start, you’ll keep going. 🎶
3.Audit your screen time: Check your phone's digital wellbeing settings. If you’ve spent 2 hours on social media today, you had 120 minutes of "guitar time" available. 🤳📉
You don't have to learn guitar. But if you truly want to, stop waiting for a gap in your schedule that isn't coming. Make the gap. 🔨🦾
