Play Often

To quote Gretchen Rubin, who has so many wonderful tips for habit formation, “What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.” When you decide to learn to play the ukulele, what you’re really doing is deciding to form a new habit. Your best bet for establishing a consistent practice is to play daily (or as close to daily as possible). Focus on playing as often as you can, even if it’s just for a quick strum. No need to worry about how many minutes of practice you’re logging— the frequency of your interactions is what matters. You have lots of time for learning.
