Another thought, if you find yourself with 15+ minutes of free time and you’re not near your guitar, close your eyes and in your mind watch yourself practice. Watch your hand make the chords or play scales. Taking one day a week off can be useful also to let your mind work on things while you do other things.
Cool. Thanks for your advice. It's been very educative :)
I'll try to remember the advice you've given me. I'll ask again if I have questions in the future.
As for the part with watching videos, I did watch the first two parts of the "Rock Course Level 1", because I was bored and didn't have a guitar nearby last night. I can't wait to try some of the things I learned from those videos.
