The question of motivation is often a tough one. One thing that might help is to think smaller. When we think of the task, and how much work it will entail, it can be difficult to get going. If instead, your goal is only to figure out how to get started, it’s easier to get going, and easier to keep going. So how can you simply get yourself to tune and play a couple minutes? Because once you do that, you’ll probably stick with it for a bit longer.
There are are two books that I found really helpful with long-term and day-to-day motivation. Mastery, by George Leonard and The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield. You might take a look at these as well when you have a chance (or when you don’t feel like practicing and need something productive to do).
