An hour of practice feels like a week. An hour of scrolling feels like a sneeze. Same sixty minutes.

Effort stretches time and ease compresses it, which makes your sense of duration a poor accountant. The hour that demanded something of you gets remembered as enormous, and the hour that asked nothing leaves almost no trace at all. So a day can feel like it was mostly work when the clock would say otherwise.

Use the clock rather than the feeling when you are deciding where your time goes. Time one practice session and one drifting session honestly this week. The point is not guilt about either, only an accurate picture of where those sixty minutes actually went.
