Yeah it's easy to stick with this kind of thing for a few months when everything is going well.

The challenge is keeping it up beyond the few months when the novelty wears off, life gets in the way, and it becomes difficult.

I personally find that these kinds of things keep my interest for about about three months so I have to find ways to make progress towards goals while also changing whatever I'm doing enough to continue to hold my interesting. Examples might include changing my workout routine in a way that is different enough to hold my interest but similar enough to continue making progress. Or switch to learning a different style of guitar. Stuff like that.

Having defined goals to begin with helps a lot.

Yes I agree. I call it the 'dip of doom' that happens at the 4-6 month mark. If you push through it, you're golden, but so many people give up.
