Ideas for guitar practices

Warm up, chromatic exercises-5 min
Scales/arpeggios/sweeps/alternate picking-15 min
Study new chord shapes from Ted Greene's Chord Chemistry Book-15 min
Practice reading/sheet music from Real Books-15 min
Improvise off the changes of tunes from the Real Books-10 min
This could be a good practice if I only had about an hour to practice. In addition, I would throw in playing along to recordings, or learning songs off recordings by ear. Lastly, I would throw in writing or recording my own tunes. Guitar practice, the less you do of it, the more you suck.
