I don’t currently have the time and energy for piano (meaning I have decided to use my time and energy for things that are more urgent and important). Yet, I didn’t want to take the piano completely out of my life, so I started practicing it again. My goal is to play for one minute every night before going to bed. After the whole day’s tasks are done, I do some reading and around bedtime, I sit in front of the piano and play it. For a minute. Just a minute.
After a few days, I found a problem and that is that it never ends within a minute. I can practice the C major scale a couple of times in a minute, but I go over that time all the time. I play a bit of scales and small pieces, and it turns into 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and so on. This sneaky little piano takes away my sleep time little by little, yet I have decided to forgive it. I am watching you, though. Really watching.
