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!
