Think of things that you can study when you’re not in the mood to practice, such as:
1) Listen to a song intently that you’re studying. Listen to all the instruments all the way through once, not just the harp.
2) Music theory
3) Figuring out the keys and positions of the songs in your collection
4) Harmonica customizing (don’t go too far down the gear rabbit hole—spend time on your craft)
5) Interviews
6) Equipment lessons
7) What else can you think of?
