In fact, this is just a good overall approach, since guitar-playing is somewhat accumulative (scales help arpeggios, slurs help scales, etc.). I do a Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 schedule, with the 7th day being a free-form, do whatever is fun or focus on one thing for the whole session.

Assuming, like me, you have only an hour or two a day on average to practice, only a certain number of pieces can be worked on. Another question that comes to mind is how many pieces to work on at a time? Dedicate all practice to one piece for a week or month? Work a little on four or five?
