It comes with interest much more than with practice. If it interests you enough, you probably won't be able to NOT try it. But interests can hit at different times. Maybe it's interesting for you on weekends. Practice can make it more reliable as a skill, less of a weekend thing maybe. Programming is scheduling. Can you make a schedule? Like, what to do at 9 am, noon, etc. Then, can you make one of the schedule items a decision? Like "if I am tired, take a nap. If not, do some gardening." That's programming. From that point it's just a matter of finding a programming language or a programming activity that you like. A lot of the languages are already part of something you use. Like Google Apps Script can be used with Google products, if you use those. So maybe it's easier to start that way. No genius is required. For some people it will take more time than others. Like anything else.
