| A practice routine is a living document and I would say you just need to figure out what you want to learn. Reading, scales, arpeggios, soloing, walking, theory, and on and on. Then write up a little schedule with a minimum amount of time like 10 minutes up to your max like hour for each topic. Then try to keep a journal especially if you don't have a lot of time to practice. Sometimes I would make a check list with a place for notes and Xerox a bunch. The reason most important thing in practice is working on everything everyday. Even if only 5 or 10 minutes. You will progress faster that way than doing a hour a couple days a week and nothing other days. In the journal write down where you left off on a topic. That way the next practice sesson you pick up where you left off and continue.
Remember you don't have alway practice with your bass. Use the bass in your head to work out a lot of things. That will optimize your time with your bass. I used to practice things while driving drilling myself on theory. Thinking about scale fingerings. I have working on transcribing bass lines while driving to work. I get to work write down some notes and check myself when I get home and back to my bass. A lot you can do without your bass. When I was young I worked in a store and as I walked around doing my work I would sing bass lines. I got some weird looks now and then, but so what I was groovin' and making money.
