Developing Patience Options

[Gitaerunowakai]

I know this may seem like a silly topic to be posting about, but due to stressful days, busy schedule (exams, college etc.) I find it really hard to practice effectively or to even practice at all. I find that my stress makes me very unpatient, which is not good for things that require a lot of practicing (i.e sweeping - my no 1 enemy at the moment) On the internet, sometimes its hard to forget that beyond the forum screen names are actual people with actual goals which are obstructed by unneccesary stresses. To get to the point, I just want to pose the following question to all who may read this: how do you get into a place where you have the will and patience to practice after the stresses of everyday life?

I also have this problem from time to time. My head is full of school and rugby and other things...
I sit and try to play, but actually spend more time on the tv that is still on (few meters next to my computer) or posting replies on gmc ( ) etc..

So, what I do now is:
I come home from school and first try to relax as much as possible. I take a coffee and start reading in Zen Guitar. This little book really motivates me! Then, when I am completely zen, I grab my guitar and only focus on the things to do. I know what I'm doing and how to improve (metronome!).

Hope this helps!

I like the idea of practicing early in the morning. The biggest problem will be the battle against my bed that wouldn't let me go
