Practicing easy stuff.

When doing so, I end up neglecting it, so if I practice a difficult piece and an easy piece simultaneously, the difficult one will improve faster.

How do I get myself to not neglect the piece.

I guess your stuff is currently chosen by a teacher. Is the piece of a pedagogical kind or does pertain to the repertory? For pedagogical pieces (like a Czerny exercise), try to know what is the technical purpose or which ability is being enhanced. For repertory ones, look for the artistic value.
