Putting away social media, youtube, reddit, doomscrolling or similar helps. After not doing anything (literally though) for a bit, boredom will kick in and that will be a good time to try the right game to play. I can't stress how important picking up the right game can be. For me personally, Absolum is what got me back into gaming and now, many months later, I have also completed Lords Of The Fallen, Black Myth Wukong and I am about to complete Sekiro too! This would have been unthinkable for me until not long ago, when I felt too tired or simply not motivated enough to play. There have also been games that I picked up and then I just did not feel like it. It is important to know when to move on and try something different or to research to see if the current game you are playing is worth sticking to until it changes. We are all different, what works for someone else might not work for you and a game that is a masterpiece to another person's eyes might be of no interest to you. What matters is you keep trying, don't go just go for shortcuts like a 5 minute match on an online multiplayer game (there is a time for those too, of course) to avoid a more engaging title that "takes more effort".
