I find giving myself a specific goal helps focus the mind. For example, deciding to learn a particular piece by a particular date. For me the best way to ensure this happens is to announce it in advance in the form of a concert to my nearest and dearest (or anyone else) who is prepared to sit still for five minutes next week while their brain bleeds out of their ears.
i.e. find 'twinkle twinkle little star' in a music book. Work on it for a week, perform it to a friend.
It is easy to struggle through pieces when you practice and kid your self that you are getting better when you are actually just practicing bad habits (voice of experience here! *blush*) but having a really specific goal like playing to someone else gives you no let out clause. By the end of the week that tune better be good, otherwise you feel a right wally!
Another thing that really helps is if you can record yourself playing. That tells you where things don't sound so good like nothing else will.
Best of luck, hope the babies like your playing.
