Hmmm if you can pull of 45-1h a day that is great! You just need to sit down and write your near future goals. Things you want to improve. Write down techniques you want to work on and then search for lessons on GMC covering those techniques. You should try to keep up the log of exercises you did, tempo etc in a notebook. During that 45 min session try to concentrate and do not "play" around rather practice task at hand. Of course you can dedicate few days just for improvisation practice etc etc...

Join the club. I'm a father of 3. My routine consists of the following.
1. Get up in the mornin to the alarm clock's warnin, take the 8:15 into the city ... 2. Work all day 3. Home by 7:00 p.m. 4. Help wife with her work (she's a photographer and I help her process photos and put them online for clients). 5. Help with school work 6. Get kids in bed, wife is in bed by 10:00 - 10:30 like clock work 7. 10:45 - 2:00 A.M. I open up cubase, youtube, pick up my guitar and practice while everyone's sleepin. schedule is roughly this - discipline sometimes break down and I emphasise or ignore some items depending on my mood. 1. warmup 20 mins - scales, pentatonics 2. 20 mins - fretboard learning drills - what note is this? ear training 3. 30 mins to an hour learning a cover song. 3. fire up a youtube song for inspiration 4. I either work a new song based on the inspiration from 3 above, or I lay down a drum beat in cubase or fire up a pre-existing one (I have several home-made backing tracks that I alter based on mood) and play along trying to insert any licks I've learned from the previous night's lesson, to tempo. (see item 5) 5.try to learn a new lick for next night's practice 6. fire up Netflix, start a movie with a metrinome in the background and work on the new lick (brainless activity that requires only motor skills, so I consider this safe practice.). I also listen to the soundtrack melody and try to play along - it's kind of a mild ear-training exercise where you try to play the melody wherever you can find it on the neck. The goal, as few mistakes as possible. 7. rinse and repeat daily, except Tuesdays when I play in a "practice band" (we don't gig, just do covers - see item 3 above) from 8:00 - 10:00. End result - no social life what-so-ever, and not as much sleep as I'd like, but I've traded these items to ensure that I don't neglect my family because they come first, and I pursue a hobby I love with all that is left over. -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!

Set your goals clearly and spend the little time specifically on those goals,
and free up some time eventually -------------------- Visit my:

It's all about careful planning and organizing your working day. It's very much doable, you just need to find the schedule/plan that will work for you. Use organizer on your mobile phone, and use alarms. This is a good way to start a good working day routine, and later on you can do it without alarms.

Those sleep methods are interesting! But I don't think I wanna mess with my mind that way though. I'll just sleep the way I was created.
