I don't have a set practice schedule. I pick it up whenever I can, but I work ten hour days driving a gas delivery truck which is grueling most of the week so don't get much practice in during then, but on the weekends I make up for it. I usually play till my fingertips start to hurt then take breaks throughout the day. This week I'm on vacation so with no place to go due to pandemic I'm making up for lost time.

I'm ok with this as I don't place too high of an expectation on myself. This hobby is for me so I learn things at whatever time it takes. I'm more of a backporch strummer/picker type of player so my practice routine involves going over lessons from previous weeks, along with spider leg exercises, chord progressions, bass line runs, and then I switch to fingerpicking. I play the songs (ok badly) from the lessons and I play some tracks off youtube.

My practice times can be anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 hours. Again with lots of breaks.
