15 minutes a day
That's all I ask my students to practice each day outside of class. I know it doesn't seem like much but for many people, it still doesn't get done.
15 minutes should be enough to keep most things fresh in their minds and give them a chance to run through the exercise circuit once.
I think that many times if they will just do those 15 minutes, they will find something that they want to work on and they may devote even more time to practice. Most of the time though, if they are like me, time is tight and 15 minutes is all martial arts gets out of the day. Between family, jobs and other commitments, there may not be much more than that.
One thing I used to do is practice 5 minutes at a time, 3 times a day. I liked that approach. That didn't give me time for the exercises but it did keep the techniques fresh in my head all day. I don't do it that way anymore, opting for doing it once a day and including the exercises now. It is an option though and one that I may go back to in the future.
You can run through your techniques when you get up, during your lunch break and before you go to bed.
Once nice thing about the 15 minute guideline is there really aren't any excuses for not doing it. Everyone can fit 5 minutes in here and there.
