Pick a small self-contained project that has a very clear end. Work on it periodically, meaning daily, weekly, as schedule permits; but not necessarily for copious amounts of time. Make a small amount of tangible, obvious progress each time. Tangible and obvious are going to be subjective to you and might not mean much to someone else. No matter, this project is for you. You'll feel a spark joy type feeling after some number of periods.

It's important to not rush this and just let it happen while keeping the momentum going. Skipping every so often is ok, but don't skip more than 2 periods in a row. Track your progress in a way that's meaningful to you. Your brain is rewiring itself as you do this so the time it takes might vary depending on overall health.
