Actually Iceman was giving some good research-based advice on how to develop
the habit of practice -practicing every day at the same time.

A simple google search on developing positive habits will easily yield 
phrases
like "commitment, put into existence, be consistent and develop a ritual".

Sounds like good advice to me.

I don't know if I would necessarily pay heed to someone who insists that you
not pay heed to others....

Gotta go, it's my weekend practice time!
