There is no right way and wrong way to sew. Sewing is something (I have found for me) that you need to be in the mood to do. If I force sewing I will screw it up every time. Relax, this is supposed to be fun. Maybe a glass of wine first.
I agree with the small amount of time sewing - like 10 minutes. That's why Nancy Zeiman wrote "10,20, 30 minutes to Sew" book. Break a project down into 10 -15 minute steps. Like 'cut 2 WOF strips" or sew one strip to another and STOP. You'll feel so successful that you met that goal, it will eventually motivate you to do more. If not - and you're comfortable with 10 minutes a day - that's great.
