I think Routine is key. Slot it into your daily schedule. I started learning how to cook during covid. After the initial novelty factor wore off, I was getting lazy with the process, doing things last minute, taking shortcuts, if I needed ingredient x and didn't have it I would add y producing half baked crap etc. And this was happening even though I was really curious about it all and interested in getting better. So one day I decided, half an hour just after waking up instead of scrolling through the phone, I was going to devote to planning the daily cook. This worked out great cuz instead of getting aggravated about the news or work emails or whatever I was day dreaming about what to cook. Now its become an automatic thing.
