I know this has to be one of the most popular topics out there and I also know it's a big topic on magazines such as guitar world (like the 10 hour steve vai workout and stuff like that), but I still think it'd be interesting to hear about everyone's latest choices.

In other words, how do you guys split your time when practicing? Even better, how do you practice?

When I had time back a year ago I used to do a bit of what Petrucci mentions on his Rock Discipline, which is basically to find anywhere from half an hour up to as many hours as you can and then just split that in sections of half-an-hour each, each dedicated to something in particular. Basically one section could be reviewing / studying scales, another one would be to improve one's impro in certain genres, another would be sight reading, and so on and so forth for 30 mins.

What do YOU folks do?
