Do you do this?
In the weekend i'm almost always taking two days off to hang out with friends. And in the week it's just mostly pratice. I usally feels bad afterwards beacause i'm feelin bad behind the piano.

I used to kind of do this. Every sunday I went to my relative's place for a swim and some fun. The next day Id be procrastinating at the piano. Nowadays I might take a day off during the weekends in an emergency when I have to dash off 2-3 assessments at once. Those days I feel like hell and I'd give anything to be practicing the piano.
Funny? How? How am I funny?

I'm forced to do this because I can only see my girlfriend once a week - on weekends - and have no time for it on Saturday/Sunday, sometimes even Friday.  So I work very hard during the rest of the week and I use Monday as a refresher day where I ease back into my work.

It's not the best way to do things but it's the only thing that works for me.
