Your brain needs time to process the material in between practice sessions, and as with exercise, your body needs to build strength and agility slowly.

When it comes to guitar, your fingers need to be callous and build up strength, which won’t happen with longer, less frequent practice sessions.

When it comes to piano, your fingers need a chance to build up strength.

Often, if you let too much time elapse, you’ll pretty much be back to square 1 when you start up again. So that being said, try for almost every day. If that isn’t realistic, shoot for as many times a week as you can. Be honest with yourself though. If 3-4 times a week is possible, and 7 days a week isn’t, don’t tell yourself it’s 7 days a week or nothing. That’s just a recipe for getting derailed. Anything is better than nothing, especially if you’re consistent.
