My violin teacher called it practicing without ambition. Every time you practice, you’re supposed to criticize yourself and constantly compare yourself to better players so that you can strive to master a specific part of playing. In a healthy way, of course. Otherwise, you can “practice” for fifty years and still never learn anything.
