My answer is "find clear, somehow measurable goals".

I've been successfully taking out 1~2 hours of my day every day to study Japanese, it's been almost 4 years and I'm still going, always pursuing a new number (of words, of kanji, of books read...).

Now, drawing? Fat chance. Nada.
I start things and drop them cause I fail to see clear goals. It's hard to say you are done with a lesson, cause in truth you never are, you only get less shit at doing it.
I know for a fact the real progress comes from making mistakes and repetition, but I can't bring myself to do it without seeing landmarks ahead of me.

Could the answer be a mentor? I don't have the means.
Could the answer be dropping Japanese so I only have one thing to fry my brain? I don't think so, as in the past I had this shitty attitude with learning Japanese as well. It got better once I learned how to measure my progress and set solid goals based on the Pareto distribution.
