i had a hard time with the same thing an also my b maj and b minor. so i put a guitar near my kitchen on a stand so i could randomly pick it up and practice those things in 30 sec intervals as i would walk by like in morning after coffee before work and such. i saved my hard core practice time for the things that i could see more immediate improvement, so i wouldn't get discouraged.
i'm now about 6 months since i first picked up a guitar and this worked for me. i still do this and the wife finally got used to the guitar in the kitchen

hope that helps lol
