Also practice the 1234 Exercise...it was something I had my students do as a warmup every day for 3-5 minutes. I still do it myself even after 20 years.
Here is a link that explains it pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrfaglMd5RA

Do these exercises every day before or after you practice other things...sort of like a warm-up and cool-down. You will notice a massive improvement in no time.
Xcllnt suggestion. Like practicing free throws. Although I practice exclusively the blues scale. But do it in every key. I use it as a warmup also. Been thinking of transitioning to pentatonic.
