I'm having fun and feel like I am making good progress.
I would never just work on just one riff.I got the riff I've been working on up to 91% speed played accurately, clean, and in time. I worked on it for an hour and a half over the last day in 30 minute increments. I am going to give that riff a rest for about week, then bump it up to 92 or 93%. I'll probably get started working on something else in the meantime. I'm having fun and feel like I am making good progress.
This.If we end on a high note, and not when
we are depleted and frustrated, then we are more apt to want to go at it again the next day, and the
day after that, and so on. That's how the process/cycle feeds itself and becomes sustainable.
And the rule of Primacy is that you remember best what you were taught first. If the first thing you learned about whatever is what’s going to be recalled quickest and most accurately. Gotta be careful with that.This.
Your body remembers best what it did last. If you're working on a challenging riff, and it's just giving you problems, slow it down until you can at least get the notes right. Stupid slow, if you have to. Your next practice session will be better for it.

Playing the same thing over and over leads to muscle imbalances.
Work more on one thing one day. But work on it less and something else more the next day etc.
I think you should work on 3 or so things at once and emphasize how much you practice each one a different amount each day.
Don't confuse "resting" with "not practicing."

If they are easy sure.Heck, why not have a dozen different songs to practice on, or is that too many?
This has happened to me. However, my visualizations have come from dreams. I've learned riffs this way and when riffs have given me problems, I've been able to correct them within the next few days, with minimal effort, after dreaming about it.People who simply visualize doing a skill, without actually doing it also show measurable
results in getting better at the skill.
