Like a particular ‘song’ made to get you used to a tricky chord and ingrain it in muscle memory?

Thanks melba! I don’t believe lazy is entirely a thing. You can either be disinterested, or want to do it, but have various barriers in the way.
I absolutely struggle with inconsistency at the moment and am trying to rectify that. My problem is that I don’t push myself because I tell myself that it’s going to be too hard when I do need a nudge.

I was called ‘talented’ but never actually really began.
spoiler
To be honest I hated the kiddie songs for beginners and was being placed under unreasonable expectations by adults who either wanted to live their failed dreams through me or have a show pony that did tricks. The pressure killed my desire and the boring fundamentals work did the rest. Also I had way too much else on my plate like survival. The same things are true now with the ukulele. No idea where it is.
But I was and am very tired and distractable so it’s just easier and less revealing to call it lazy.

Thanks melba! I love the video game dailies method!
Tell me about the kiddie songs for beginners! Especially on piano. It’s always worth playing music you like.
Good on you for having a flossing habit.
I think I still want to play music and just do things in general, it’s just that lately I’ve been really sleep deprived and everything feels too hard.

Yeah, it was piano for me also.
I’m feeling that, it really is time to take it easy with anything non essential
