Love the playlist pacer - pair it with a fixed sequence so you always do the same things in the same order: kettle on quick stretch while it heats and breakfast, then five-minute tidy while coffee/tea steeps. Keep the phone out of play by using an analog alarm and a kitchen or sand timer for both the tidy and the toast. A small laminated checklist on the fridge makes it feel automatic and cuts morning decisions.

My formula is a base, a protein, a veg, a sauce. Big pot of rice or pasta on Sunday, then rotate canned beans, eggs, or chicken thighs with frozen broccoli and a jarred sauce. Tortillas save everything by turning scraps into tacos or quesadillas for like a dollar.

Target 30 minutes most days with one rest day. Use a rubber soundhole cover or a folded cloth at the bridge to cut volume. Set a metronome at a comfortable tempo. Week 1 focus on fretting accuracy and basic down strums at low volume. Week 2 add two chord pairs such as G to C and D to G and aim for silent transitions. Week 3 introduce a down down up up down up pattern and apply it slowly. Week 4 pick one simple song that fits those chords and record a single take on day seven. Week 5 to 6 add a second pattern, light palm muting, and a second song that shares shapes. Tracking is one line per day with date, chord pair, pattern, and tempo. Review weekly and raise tempo by five only if the recording sounds clean.
