What are your top distractions from piano practice

on: September 27, 2004, 09:44:28 PM

What are your top distractions from piano practice each and every day?

Mine are:
1. Food
2. PS2
3. Wanting to take a 5 min drink break, but turns out I somehow watch a 2 hour long movie showcased on TV
4. Homework
5. Chores ...stupid
6. Washroom break...and not coming back to piano until 5 hours later
7. Coming to Piano Forum and seeing who has posted what.

1. Food - cooking it more than eating it. :-P
2. Homework/teaching (reading is NOT homework, Latin is

)
3. My family - love them to death!!
4. Chores.
5. Tennis - my second favorite thing.

Homework. I'd say that's the only thing which keeps me away from piano - when I do other things, it's because I wouldn't be playing piano anyway. But when I do homework, I usually find myself wishing a piano were nearby.

The only thing that keeps me from the piano are my irritatingly perpetually asleep housemates. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
