Is this a generic problem for a new guitar player or is it just me? Am I just not focused enough to learn?

Would love to hear how you all motivate yourself everyday and keep learning.

And apologies if this topic has been beaten to death already.
Back to the original question:

Whenever I pick up the guitar I tend to start with the same tune and play until my hands warm up and I feel a solid groove. At that point I've pretty much left the everyday world, found the zone and am ready to try something new. Then and only then do I start with new stuff or work out new ideas for the old stuff.
