Patti practices perfectly

I've been meaning to mention Patti's wonderful post about practicing the right way as opposed to the wrong way. This is something that I preach continually. I've known people who practice eight hours a day but get absolutely nothing done. Learning to practice more efficiently and effectively is far better than simply adding hours to the routine. What about when you're in the thick of it in the middle of the season and you only have 2 or 3 hours--sometimes only 1 hour (now that sounds more like the real world)--at most to get everything done? Practicing should be about quality not quantity.
