You are fighting a losing battle. Drive and focus are either an integral part of who you are, or they aren't. Enjoy tinkering around, but you should adjust your expectations on the outcome. I know and work with lots of 'dabblers'. They are nice people, but don't have any understanding of what goes into mastering something. Same holds true for musical instruments. Lots of people 'dream' of playing, but have no clue how many thousands of times you have to repeat hand movements and listening until you rise above that and can work on the 'music'. Countless hours, constant trade-offs, and arguably abnormal mental faculties are required.
