I think you should take advantage of the time you're not flying. And here's how:

Get a chair that sits you upright, as in sitting in a plane.
Close your eyes.
Imagine the controls in front of you.
Repeat your last lesson.
Move your hands and feet, turn your head, 'hear' your instructor.
Repeat over and over.

Here's what you'll find (from my experience and from several others who have followed this advice - which didn't come from me originally)

When you get in the plane for your next lesson, your instructor won't have to repeat much if any of your previous lesson.

You will learn MUCH faster, and save quite a bit of money.

I wasted the first 14 hours of my training, then started doing this and finished my PPL in 46 hours (including the check-ride). IR in 40.5 hours.

I have seen this work over and over again. Live, eat, drink, breath flying, instead of calculating how many days you might be able to fly. When you're not practising or actually flying, be reading about it.
