Checklists for Organized Practice

Practice sessions must be organized.

Follow these three steps: 1. Arrive with a plan, 2.Do the plan, and 3. Leave feeling good. This policy for organized practice is simple to understand. Really though, only well trained tournament players of all ages are good at staying organized for an entire practice session. Staying organized requires: 1. Adequate stamina (including being well fed and rested), 2. Adequate attention span (this is built up over time), and 3. The ability to fend off distractions.

Today, I am most concerned with the latter. You must be able to fend off distractions in order to run an organized practice session.

Distractions come from all over. Buddies appear and want to show your their new driver. They come along and want you to out and play. they want to chit chat. You have to get back to the office. Your smart phone is after you. The amateur next to you wants to “help” and starts sharing some key or pointer that has nothing to do with the lesson content you’re there to work on intently. Threats to your practice session’s organization are everywhere. To the degree that you allow your plan to get derailed, you will not get better.

Use the checklists above to help you get better faster. I want your lessons to really pay off.
