5 minutes everyday is better than 1 hour on the weekend. Hobbies should be fun, try and implement them into your life without them taking over.

rather than once every three business days for one hour stretches at a time. you’ll get better at your craft and see tangible results. half the time you end up running past 10 minutes bc you enjoyed yourself.

whatever the thing is, usually I make a deal with myself to just try it for five minutes, and then if I'm bored or still unmotivated I can put it down. most often that's just enough time to get me invested in doing the thing and work on it longer

if you are trying to build a habit out of something you enjoy doing, but still something you have difficulty getting yourself to do, set an extremely small daily goal.
if you want to write, write one sentence every day at same time. if you want to play music, play one note every day at the same time. by setting the goal low and doing it daily, you will find that on most days you do more than that one sentence or one note.
creating the habit actually exposes how much you love doing the thing. i'd suggest restricting yourself to this little bit for like a week straight just so you can build the habit. by the end of that week you will be bursting with a desire to do more than that one sentence or one note.
this also means that later, once the habit is implemented in your life, if you have an off-day where you really don't have the inspiration, all you have to do is write one sentence or play one note. i think the trouble with building habits is the pressure to upkeep them. it's so hard to start because you're not just initiating an activity for your day, you're trying to initiate it for the rest of your life. but if you set the goal small you will exceed it, and the pressure will fade.
