I have been pretty sloppy when it comes to practice, both with cello and voice, so I've made myself a spreadsheet to log practice time in various categories (cello warm ups, cello sight reading, cello piece, vocal warm ups, singing piece, sight singing, improvisation, ear training, music reading trainer) to try and have a better idea of what I am doing and what I could be spending more time on. I've switched to weekly lessons in cello recently, as opposed to fortnightly, so hopefully that and the practice log will encourage me to keep up with my practice more often than I have been.

As part of my new year's resolutions I wanted to practice 30 minutes cello five days a week and 30 minutes singing five times a week and do vocal warm ups every day. I also want to add a bit of ear training and theory onto my daily routine. Nothing too extreme, just five minutes of each maybe. I think this is achievable, but I need to actually do it.

I lightly plagiarised a guitar player from Reddit's practice log to make mine, because although I love spreadsheets I am not particularly adept at coming up with formulae, and it's made me want to do a course in Excel to level up my spreadsheet game, lol.

I like logging what you're doing now to better assess what needs more focus, especially with such a complicated hobby (it's multi-faceted).

People post the things that they’ve done, in part, to inspire and share the benefit of their effort.

My friend who made her perfumes/various smellgoods collection Google spreadsheet told me to steal as much of it as I wanted to make my own, and I’ve passed the ideas on to two people, so she started a very pleasantly scented contagion. I don’t think your musician redditor will mind terribly being someone’s Muse.

Good luck with your music! Rock on!
