Do you have habits or hobbies?
If you start to do something, you may want to choose activities you genuinely enjoy because, as you know, you probably couldn't stick with something you didn't really enjoy in the past. Recently, I heard that people who truly enjoy their work can be successful. I agree with this. Now, as I recall, I can't remember things I didn't really enjoy.
For example, there's a difference between studying English and actually having a conversation. I have studied various English vocabulary books before, but I can hardly remember their contents. On the other hand, I do remember the content of conversations I've had with people from other countries. I believe this is because enjoyable conversations deeply connect to your memories.
From this experience, I recommend that if you want to improve your conversational English, you should make time to talk in English with native speakers regularly, even if you think you're not good at speaking yet.
