Its not practice that kills me. Playing a song and not nailing it the first time never bothered me. its the laborious nature of trying some things I used to play 5 years ago when I took lessons and now can't.

I've found that I can't learn without lessons. Jussayin'. If you want to teach yourself an instrument, do it properly and everything, then I'd advise you get books of exercises (e.g. if it's guitar you want to learn, get a book full of exercises to tighten up your picking, fast playing, triplet playing etc.) and dedicate the first part of your hour to practicing a few of those. Then dedicate the next bit to solo'ing, or scales, or something similar. Dedicate the last bit (make it the biggest chunk) to learning a new song.
Make your practice times structured like that and you'll find yourself emulating the lessons you would've otherwise shelled out a fortune for, so I think it really is worth thinking about.
