Summer flute practice: accountability and motivation - who are they?

Tell me if this sounds familiar: 

You play the flute. For school, or for band, or just for fun. Summer rolls around…I call that the “off season”. Rehearsals slow down, there’s no class, no structure, the world is your oyster. You can do as many creative things and practice as much as you want and whenever you want. It’s great.

Suddenly it’s the middle of August, and that entire summer was spent thinking about all the stuff you can get done in your free or more flexible time. 

Whoops.
