If motivation is your key, you might want to read the article wired wrote about the Dutch open.
There's a part where an experienced picker tells a beginner how to do things:
"in camp, we learn how to pick by getting stuffed into a cage. Death is a great motivator."

I don't hope that it's necessary, but i do agree that it helps. A lot.

Yours,

Jordy

"You have two choices: You either get real good at picking real quick, or you stay in this cage and you starve. Think very carefully about your options."

The human body is amazing, and in times when it MUST adapt to survive then it becomes very efficient at adapting. :)
