Jerry Garcia on daily practice:
"You describe music as your yoga"
They call yoga “a practice” because every time you get on the mat, you’re learning.
No one is the perfect yogi. No one is the perfect musician, writer, or programmer.
It’s all practice.
"It's a good thing to have one thing you can work on on a daily basis and be able to see improvement in your own terms."
Jerry's right.
Daily practice is the best way to improve at a craft. You have to spend a lot of time sucking to get good.
Chess champion Josh Waitzkin calls this Investment In Loss. To get good, you must invest in losing over and over again.
It’s only through repeated losses do you win.
