The art of practicing is finding a process for repetition without boredom.  When we work on a particular passage of music, it is important to come at it from different perspectives.  Alter the rhythms.  Change the speed of the metronome.  Avoid becoming bored by challenging yourself to play that passage in as many different ways as you can imagine.
