I think this strategy is really helpful. The "parking your worries" tip resonates the most with me. It's hard for me to practice when I know I have a lot of things to do afterwards, so the tip to just write things down and schedule them ahead of time is very helpful!
This really reminded me about how important it is to have full concentration in the practice room. During stressful times, it's easy to let your mind wander, so I'll definitely use the tip to write my worries down and focus on them later.
Yeah, I've definitely noticed that when I have a lot of different things to do, my practice sessions are not nearly as productive. I actually do a lot of these for just normal life, especially with the worries. It is super effective to simply write down the things you are worrying about to move them away from your head and onto a physical plane.
I also believe the parking your worries is a great tip. I know most the time when I go to practice I get distracted and burnt out quickly because I have so much other stuff going on. So I need to key in and focus on my practice rather than everything else.
Full concentration is the most important thing in the practice room. I typically get distracted by something while im in the practice room. I have found that short but productive sessions work the best.

Being productive has definitely been something I've struggled with. Not only am I not productive, but my lack of progress makes me upset, leading to a continued lack of productivity. I like this article's idea about writing down the thoughts that are circling our heads instead of having to do something about them immediately. The problems will still be there when we leave the practice room, so we shouldn't let them choose to be present at that time
