Hi Corsair,
Try to structure your practice so that you develop different aspects of your playing. Don't simply practice the same things during each session. Make it your goal to learn the names of all of the notes of the open strings, continuing up to the fifth fret (you can always learn notes further up later but this is an achievable goal.) Practice playing each note from open string to the fifth fret on each string, alternating your picking up and down, each time you strike the strings. This should improve your coordination. If you say out loud the names of each of the notes, soon, you'll commit them to memory. Get a book of scales, learn to play the same scales in different positions to increase your knowledge of the fingerboard. practice open chords and progress on to barre chords. play single string riffs, fingerpicking and strumming. Discover the key that one of your favourite songs was written in, play the notes of that key over the song, experimenting with improvisation over the song. Try not to overlook guitar theory. There is so much to learn but you can make it fun along the way. I learned parrot fashion and developed my understanding of theory much later. Theory really helps you to understand your instrument much better and aids composition. Though I must admit, I've been writing for so long that I almost instinctively know what does and doesn't work without thinking about the nuts and bolts behind it all. The point is however, your progress will be much quicker with a good understanding of basic music theory.
I won't waffle on any longer as there is a great deal to learn and you shouldn't let this dampen your spirits. You can also achieve a great deal within a very short space of time without too much application to theory. It just depends on what you are trying to achieve.
Hope some of this helps a little!
Paul
