When You Keep Recording “How Was Today Compared to Yesterday?”

Do you ever practice every day and still wonder, Am I really improving?

The dashboard that brings your practice logs together has become even more powerful.

After your daily instrument practice, all you have to do is give yourself a simple self-rating, like:
“Was I able to play a little better today than yesterday?”
By continuing to log that feeling, your records begin to turn into graphs.

And for people who want to reflect a little more deeply, you can rate your playing from different angles on a scale of 1 to 10, such as:

  • My violin bowing felt good today!
  • But my intonation was not so great…
  • My rhythm felt good, and it was fun!

When you keep recording your practice this way, you gradually start to see your strengths more clearly, notice the areas that need more work, and find hints for what you may want to focus on in future practice.

In addition to your self-ratings, the dashboard also keeps track of your practice history over the past 7 or 30 days. This makes it easier to look back and see whether your practice sessions are becoming too spread out, and whether you are staying in regular touch with your instrument. There is no need to put too much pressure on yourself, but when you can clearly see the path of what you have done, practice starts to feel more rewarding.

This time, I redesigned the dashboard in many visual ways, but I did not change anything complicated like how the data is collected or how the program works behind the scenes. I simply changed how the same data is presented. Even so, I was surprised by how much that alone changed what the dashboard communicates.

Just by continuing to record “How was today compared to last time?”, it becomes easier to see the flow of your past practice and the things you may want to pay attention to from here on.
