The question is what you want to achieve practising this way. Do you earn your money from flamenco or do you work another job? I only say/ask this because of personal experience, I have no idea what you do so don't take this personally: I did the exact same thing for way too long. My experience was that practising in my room alone was good to a certain degree, but I could only play in my room for myself. Playing for others and with others I had no experience in and couldn't do it at all. I actually used to turn down meeting with other guitarists and the like because it would keep me from practise . It wasn't until I learned to let go of the obsessive need to practise alone (which can turn into a sickness if you're not careful), learnt accompaning at schools, met other musicians and tried to play with them, perform with them, that I realized the experience I was missing. I'm technically not as good as I was before, but I'm more versatile and matured as a musician. Again, this could have absolutely nothing to do with your situation, I was just putting my 2 cents in...
