I think the trick is to have achievable targets (I am beginner), simple strumming, chords progression. Just like PICO-8 advice above or "hello world". At least half of the time I play to enjoy myself, the songs that inspired me "BRUTTO - Вечірнє сонце" [1], "Green Day - Good Riddance", "Oasis - Wonderwall".

It is extremely important to tune guitar perfectly. I tune it before each session and found it usually got slightly out of tune if I don't enjoy playing anymore. It is surprisingly hard to sing while playing, it fills mind while hands gets practice.

It is easy to excel in first months because there is not much yet. Playing without looking at guitar, working on posture, accurate timing (not tempo!). Find something to enjoy, Brushy One String plays one string and it drives [1] .
