Here's my daily practice regimen:
1. Chord change warm-up: going through various chord changes, playing clean chords and trying to make clean changes. 10 min.
2. Single, double and triple pick scales. 10 min.
3. Practice songs w/vocals. 30 min.
4. Work on new stuff. 30+ min.
I don't work on a timer or anything, so the times may change. I like to do multiple things so that I'm always working towards something. If you put that stuff into a habit, it'll become a habit. Working on new stuff is important to devote time to, even if you might not have any ideas. It's probably the time where you'd be most exploratory with your guitar.
Steps 1 and 2 are mostly warmup and dexterity practices, and if I don't get a chance to play every day, then both of those steps usually get a little longer.
Step 3 so far consists of the songs that I'm currently doing, but that's already changing as I find other songs to play. Since I'm doing a mix of originals and covers, the covers change all the time. Eventually I'll have a final 30 minute set locked down, and an hour set if ever needed, consisting of other songs that might not have made that 30 minute set cut.
