How do you stay motivated and consistently practice each day?

Sorry if this is a frequent question or whatnot.

I’m self-taught and going through a series on youtube with Alfred’s first book. I know a teacher is better and preferred, unfortunately it is not an option for me currently.

I’m a beginner, I haven’t really learned any pieces so I’m still in the learning process. How do you all stay motivated and practice consistently? I’ve had a big interest and love for piano for a while, and still do, but I can’t seem to get around to playing it frequently and consistently. When I first started learning I was playing daily and practicing, however I started to “drift off” and lose that motivation to continue daily, regardless of my joy I found in it. It’s possible I burned myself out from playing too much each day? I don’t know if that’s a thing here.

Maybe it’s stupid, but I tried to set reminders for myself to do it daily. That didn’t work because there was no real discipline or drive behind it.

I’d love your advice or personal experiences with this process.
