Leave On A High Note?

Its always good to do that. Or else you'll have low confidence and become obsessed with getting back to the table to fix the problem you left with.
When you're practicing and start getting lost, stop and line up some easy shots to recalibrate.
Its very easy to get into "angry mode". It takes practice in itself to avoid that trap.
Can't argue with what you are doing....developing good work habits.
I'm confused why you're asking that.
Do what YOU want and is fine for you, as long it does not invade others.
Asking other for reaffirmation is just wrong.
Me too, If I make my first shot in practice, I quit :grin-square:
seriously nothing wrong with what you did, and definitely quit before you're bored and start playing sloppy
If a player is trying to learn how to sustain his play over several hours, as is often how it must be done in competition, quitting isn't an option.
Personally, I arrive on a high note. :thumbup:

That’s the good thing about doing drills...shoot them til you do them....
...the better you play, the quicker you’re finished.
Yup, that's the downside. I do try and push through the more difficult times when focus is hard to summon or things aren't going that well.
Most times I'm able to overcome whatever is messing with me and there too I try to end on a high note.
There are other times that I pack it in so I don't end up smashing my cue or dreading my play so badly I avoid wanting to come to the table again for a while.
I guess it's all about balance.

Never finish a practice or warm-up on a miss.
Frustration makes me stronger.
For me, dealing with the frustration is most beneficial part of doing progressively harder drills.

I love a good practice. The ones where you can't miss, it's like you're using the force,
then there are the ones where you couldn't throw it in to the ocean if you stood on the beach.
Similarly, I always try to finish on a good note. Better to finish too soon rather than too late, you know.
I think that finishing high carries over, you think better, you feel better, you see the table a bit more clearly.
But that's just me. wait for the next time you get to the table, see if you start like you last finished.
If it works for you then keep it.

Yes
I think you did the right thing, leaving on a high note is good and will make you look forward to your next session.
