433 - Daily Action Will Transform Your Piping (Dojo Conversations Episode 103)

Is it better to do a little bit every day… or a massive catch up session every once in a while? 

If you’ve ever tried to get fit, go on a diet, or even keep your teeth clean… it should probably go without saying that daily consistent action prevails over massive infrequent action, every single time. 

This week, Andrew and Jim explore the importance of maintaining consistent daily habits with your piping. They discuss their personal routines, the challenges faced by pipers, and how integrating a 'one tune a day' habit can lead to significant improvement without overwhelming your daily life.
