A friend of mine once said that you must find five minutes a day to "work on your chops." Five minutes to play your instrument, even if you don't have the time to actually sit down and have a good practice session.
It seems like five minutes a day is all I've got lately, with a teething five-month-old in the house. I love my daughter to death, but she does not like to sit still (funny, because she hasn't yet learned to crawl, scoot, walk, or otherwise move from one place to another). Which means that we both are constantly on the move.
I've tried sitting her on my lap at the piano, and playing "around" her. Don't think that lasted even five minutes! But somewhere I must find the time...
