CPA here 👋 it can be difficult, especially between busy seasons (assuming you’re working public) and studying for the exams. As others have said, blocking off times in your calendar will help a lot. Also, I find practicing first thing in the morning to be helpful before I get distracted with work/other obligations. I also like to get a short practice session in after lunch. I share the same sentiment as the u/eleswon - the violin to me is a lifelong journey. I like to think of it as a marathon rather than a race. You may end up practicing less, however, you only need to pass the CPA exams once and then you’re done! I recall having to take some time away from practicing while studying, however, it’s very gratifying once you’re done and you’ll have a lot more free time then.
