Algen did all those autistic gains during conceptart.org's halcyon days though, when Wes and Coro and Rapoza would comment on people's work and the whole site was people encouraging each other onwards to better heights.
I think he also had friends working to gains with him, at least an art gf.

Not making excuses for the NEET lassies, I just think if LAS now could be what CA was then, it'd be a much better atmosphere and we'd all be a bit closer to making it.

I bust out a round or to of some videogame or watch an episode of a show I like, to get me in a good mood, and then I follow up with hype music and/or trailers for things I'm excited for; all to get the juices pumping, remind myself how much I love this stuff, and then I'll want to draw. Usually do it in junction with my morning routine, 2-3 hours in total, and then I'm good to go whenever most days.

Find something you love, and can do well.

Bob Ross once said something to the effect of: "A talent is just a pursued interest," and that means you can do anything you're willing to practice.
If you ever doubt yourself, understand it's only ever a matter of diligence.

Additionally, if you find yourself lacking energy or time, it may be prudent to revise your general routine. Eat smarter, go to sleep earlier, wake up earlier, get periodic exercise; etc.
