The Metronome Problem

Author: Ronish

I know my time keeping is not the best and people say the answer is using the metronome with each practice, but here is my problem.
If I`m playing a challenging practice piece (which most are) then I need all my concentration and even then miss a note or two. If I switch on the met. to help with the timing side then the note playing goes way off. It is impossible to be performing your very best on two things at once when both are a challenge.
So what to do? Don`t use the met. on difficult pieces only on simpler ones I can play, or play both accepting a lot of notes are incorrect even at reduced tempo, or wait until the challenging pieces are mastered (which may be weeks) then look to the accurate met. time keeping?
