all over the place...
I am practicing multiple things on guitar...fingerpicking, scales, chord strumming, sight reading music, and I now realize I would need several lifetimes to do all these. Anyone else find they are all over the place as far as interests but cannot do all of them? How many do you work on?

As a former teacher, a lot of what I did (beyond teaching new techniques) was help talented and capable players organize & focus their process.

Shortcut - just learn songs and you will be practicing the techniques used to play those songs and have more fun doing so that way.

Sam,
After a long layoff, I started playing again and tried to cover everything in my practice as well. That wasn't working for me. For the last 6 months, I broke my practice into 3 twenty minute sessions....working only on repertoire and proper right hand technique. I can honestly say, I've made more progress in these 6 months than any given year of my guitar playing career.

 And that doesn't mean I don't believe in practicing technique, I just don't focus on it any more unless I'm learning/writing something that requires it.

The only real practice that I have done in years is a daily warm up practice of a few chords that give me problems in songs. F and Bm mostly. Back and forth, with diff strum patterns, etc. The rest is all songs.
