Yes, and there is research to support it. I've been reading "The Practice of Practice" and there is a whole chapter devoted to it ("Going Mental").

Misty, I can totally relate. I started playing mandolin in college and only now 20ish years later have I really committed. I never had much structure or discipline for it then - it was just...
