[Question] Practice advice?

Hey guitar people. I’m a hobbyist with many years of chord strumming experience. Recently I started taking lessons again and have been learning quite a bit about scales and modes and how to apply them. It’s been really fun to work on all this, but I’ve run into some hurdles. One is time. Having a full time job and a family leaves precious little time to practice. Another is density of material. While I practiced major scales for a while several months ago, my lessons moved into minor scales, minor modes of the major scale, and so on. I feel almost like I have to reteach myself the fingerings of scales and arpeggios from lessons I learned months ago, almost as if I hadn’t learned them.

So here are my questions: How do folks with limited time manage to keep their lessons in their hands and fingers? Is there a regular way to spiral back to past exercises while learning new ones? What works for you folks?
