You've hit on the absolute fundamental though - 'process'.
I've been in the process of trying to 'learn' piano (and keyboards more generally) since 2021, and am glad that I have given in.
Not given up, but given in the 'the process'. I learn with a well know on-line tutorial web site, which, ad nauseum, but correctly, tries to temper your ambition (and with it your inevitable frustration), with process based learning.
Follow this, relax, just follow. It will come. Nothing worth doing is easy is a adage I like. In this respect, I have followed the process, and each time I do so, I learn something valuable. Whether a new piece, or just a technique (muscle memory is a magical thing when seemingly subconsciously hitting the right keys!)
This has served me well, (although in my music reading, not so much!!), and brought a tremendous amount of satisfaction.
Thus, yes, in reply, I'm generally in agreement!!
Oh, and I have no NY Resolutions - I prefer to resolve to do stuff at any other time of the year.... :-)
You might bet that I'd pen a reply(!)
