I generally only have this problem if I don't enjoy the thing I'm doing.
Like learning a skill. Having the skill is what I am interested in; practice and all the boring shit to get the skill does not always keep my brain interested. Learning musical instruments is a struggle; but I have managed to do it.
Meanwhile learning a new language has been fun as hell even with the "boring" parts. My mind's always been fascinated by words and writing; I now know it extends to words and writing in other languages, too.
