I'm going to add just a couple of things that may help, although I think there are some excellent thoughts on here already -

-- If you're looking to add color then you can do that by learning the sus4 and sus2 of each chord. If you switch those in every now and again then you can add a lot of color without too much effort. They're very closely related to the regular chord shapes, particularly the D and A shapes. That is part of what Caroline Herring is doing in the video.

-- You can play any of the common chords using the E and A shaped barres (the two you've already learned) so work on getting those nice and tight and you can add extras later.

-- Don't always worry about barring. Experiment with moving chords shapes around the neck without barring and you'll find some great color chords to make your songs more interesting.

FWIW I practice everyday unless I'm out of town, even if only for a few minutes. I warm up with scales or exercises and then focus the rest of the practice towards whatever I'm working on, whether thats performance, writing, memorizing, whatever.

As always, feel free to ignore, but I hope it helps!
