You’ll wait a full minute for a video to buffer and quit a new skill after three days.

Patience is not a fixed quantity you have or lack, it is allocated according to what you expect. You tolerate the wait when you know something is coming, and you abandon the skill because three days of being bad shows no evidence that it will. The difference is a progress bar, not a character trait.

Give your new thing something to watch, a log, a count of sessions, a recording from the first week. Decide the length in advance so quitting requires a decision rather than a mood. Three days tells you nothing, and three months tells you almost everything.
