You can’t cheat repetition; eventually your results expose your routine.

You can perform effort, talk convincingly about what you are working on, and even believe your own account of it, but repetition leaves a mark that cannot be faked. Skill has a way of reporting your actual routine rather than your intended one. Nobody has to check up on you, because the results already have. It is an honest and completely impersonal accounting.

Rather than judging your commitment by how you feel about it, count what actually happened this month. Sessions, pages, calls, reps, whatever the real unit is. Then decide whether your results are surprising or exactly right.
