I had to reset my own drawing progress after a year of almost no improvement, because of /ic/'s terrible advice, so I can speak on this front with experience.

To reset, I had to start slowly.
I used a Pomodoro and only drew from 10PM - 12AM.
I would draw for 10 minutes and take a 5 minute break each time.
This may seem strange to people who have always been drawing but that's how us beginners need to reset if we're still complete trash even after trying our best for almost a year by binging video courses and grinding studies.

When doing this, feelings of great frustration will come upon you. Acknowledge it but do not let it control your decisionmaking. Decide that you want to draw and that no feeling will change this goal.

Speaking of goals, you need one. This will get your mind off of how much you suck and put it on things you need to do for that day.

One thing I did was turn my nasty basement into a drawing room. I put up a curtain to block the view from all the shit there and setup a table. Because it's a place away from my room, I am able to associate it with working rather than sleeping and masturbating.

And on that note, actually try to do NoFap if you can. When I say doing NoFap, I just mean not to Fap, I dont meant to go on the cringey ass Reddit.

There's far more than just this that I have done but these are the few changes that I have made that caused me to actually enjoy drawing now even though I know I'm bad at it. Now it's fun.
Maybe it's because I dont listen to /ic/ for advice anymore but I think it's a combination of the things I mentioned and the things I dont have room to mention.

I'm learning to make drawing a habit by dedicating a specific amount of time to drawing rather than doing it when I feel motivated.
I've created a little office for myself in my basement where I force myself to be at the chair by a specific time.
I'm harsh in that front but I am lenient on my results.
I believe that if you make drawing a habit then everything else will follow.
