I’m quite overwhelmed. I try to carve out an hour a day to practice but the amounts of things I can practice are truly limitless.
Scales, patterns, eric johnson licks, song writing, writing in different modes, improvising, different patterns, speeds drills.
I guess I should find the biggest “bang for buck” exercises?
Anyone have any advice?
Ask your teacher! (I know most people don’t want one in the guitar world, but I can’t figure out why.)
Might be because the majority are… not good. I’ve had many, not for a couple of decades now. Most had no plan, couldn’t teach picking, or technique in general, talk way too much about irrelevant stuff. This list could go on all day.
I’ve experience with a few drum and piano teachers too. Same story. So yeah, get one if you are a complete beginner, otherwise, there are better ways to learn.
What is your goal? Good goals are something like:
These things are concrete. Nebulous goals like “I want to be a great guitar player” aren’t so useful. So think of some concrete, specific goals that aren’t insanely lofty, and reverse-engineer the steps that would be required to attain them. And do not focus on a lot of different goals at the same time.
I struggled with that and still to some degree,still i set some goals for the coming year as @Riffdiculous mentioned.
Currently im interested in the harmonic minor scale,and im currently working on learning some chord progressions which can be used for it to compose somewhat of a instrumental.
Broken into smaller pieces it looks like this to me:
Learn and play a chord progression in the key of C(different variations)
Choose a tempo and beat which i like
Solo section:
Arpeggios/licks/triads scale runs
Choose a combination from them that i like and work to combine it
Hope it does give you some clarity for your routines 
I’m not sure if you’re talking about the piano teachers that went to conservatory and majored in piano performance (for example), but a lot of them have students that win at piano competitions, etc., and that’s not by accident. That said, I will confess that it’s harder to find great guitar teachers, but they’re out there!
But each to their own in guitar, that’s half the fun, I suppose.
