KEEP A RECORD

One aspect of setting and achieving goals--and this includes practice goals--is widely accepted: they should be written down. Keeping a record of your practice goals and progress has several advantages:

• Your progress is measurable.
• You can begin where you left off last time by noting your place in the music and the tempo that you reached for each section.
• It is easier to discipline yourself to move up in tempo gradually when you keep a record.
• You can keep your eye on progress towards your due dates more confidently with written records.
