To make it a daily habit I started praying one decade and made a habit tracker to keep me motivated, after a couple months went up to 2 decades and so on, after a year I could pray it daily an became just part of my daily routine. After having a baby I stopped for one month or so and I could feel the lack of graces! I asked Our Lady to help me went back to it and now I just pray while holding my baby or nursing but I reserve one hour of my day just for it no matter what happens, my reasoning is if I reserve time to eat or other necessary things so I need to reserve time for the nourishment of my soul. I also learnt to pray it in latin! Im a native spanish speaker so it felt kinda easier to remember but the rosary its great to learn all the basic prayers as the repetition makes you memorize it a lot faster, plus satan hates latin as it is the sacred language of the church! Other great way is to search the basic prayers in gregorian chant there is a sung latin rosary on youtube, to sing it helps a lot to say the pronunciation better.
And I think its better to change our mindset as to not lead ourselves by what we feel, to go to the root of the problem. All the saints went through dry phases of not feeling like praying but did it anyways and for God has more merit then, as love is an act of the will not of our feelings.
I struggle with this. I started praying the rosary every day for Advent last year and kept going. I haven't been perfect, but if I miss it one day or several days I do make them up by praying more following days. I stopped using not having a rosary on me as an excuse not to pray. The Communion of Saints youtube channel has lots of rosaries of different lengths with different music. I like the 17 minute ones. It's great for driving or when I don't have a rosary on me or when I just don't feel like praying it. I know that I will be done in 17 minutes and that's not a lot of time. I used to have the the intent to pray the rosary, but if I just didn't feel like I had the time to pray it slowly with intention or mentally felt like it then I shouldn't pray it. But I have started to think of it as a sacrifice of kind. I'm giving up my time to do something I dont feel like doing instead of something I want to do like watch netflix. I feel bad saying I don't always want to pray the rosary, but when I pray it when I really don't want to I'm purely doing it for Mary.
