Social accountability is the best. Have someone check that you're doing them one at a time, and tell them to praise you for struggling and working hard. Also, enjoy that feeling of being a beginner, of sucking at something, and of having a hard time. The feeling of progress is so rewarding that it motivates you to seek things that are hard, just to feel that sense of improvement.
