Remember - the most difficult part of practicing is
opening your case!
Some tips to get you going:
Bring your instrument home!
Open the case.
Sometimes just hanging out with your instrument is a good thing - watch tv and hold / play around with it.
Start small and take baby steps - go for 1 minute!! Really!
Hold your bow without the instrument and do bowing exercises.
What counts as practice?
If your brain is involved it's practice. Writing in counting, air bowing, clapping, finger exercises - even without sound it counts as practice!
