This actually works with a lot of things. I study piano but I have a hard time committing to the hour a day I need to practice. I started giving myself 15 minute windows( usually the amount of time I give my son as a break between homeschool classes). I find that if I get that first 15 minutes, then I often WANT to do another, and another, and another. Next thing you know I have that one hour completed--plus!
Steady and consistent practice makes you better at almost anything.
