Hey @Dean-Staff ;
Congratulations on getting a great start to your new guitar routine. Congratulations also, on your strong desire to play guitar. That can keep your guitar journey going. Start learning theory and then you can work on the relationships among the notes in your mind while you’re at work. Then, you never leave your guitar journey. Work on finger independence exercises. Buy one of those fretboard exercise things. They are sorta like a guitar without a body. Then you can practice making chord shapes. There are a lot of things you can do to be into your guitar routine even when you’re not at home or don’t have a guitar with you. Buy a travel guitar and take it with you and play it on your lunch break.
But, fight the tendency to get discouraged. No one can defeat you except you. A quote from the Zen Guitar book is “the only enemy is within”. If I were to recommend one thing to get you into the right head space I would recommend this book. Read it on your breaks. It will inspire you to the point nothing will completely stop you.
But reality is, some things can stop us from actually playing guitar for a while. That’s why we have to find ways to stay in the game until we can actually play again.
You’ve already gotten some great advice. I hope this helps also.
