Folks who switched to UI/UX from industrial design or fashion design or graphic design, how are you preparing yourself to get better in the field? Though I’m from Industrial Design background, I find UX to be boring and hate to spend a lot of my time in front of the screen. Designing apps or websites doesn’t interest me but I want to learn these things and get better at it keeping in the mind that this is a well paying field and the number of opportunities are tremendous. Continued in comments.

the boring, dull & demotivated state is because - as an Industrial Designer, you are used to tactile ways of working. You dealt with concept sketching, industrial clay, MDF, Keyshot, spatial thinking & spatial perception based working.. Now if you want to motivate yourself into digital UX, start learning HCI (hiyman computer interaction).. the more you uncover its history, ecflourion of HCI & beyond, I Hope you fall in love with the subject.

now if GUI is boring for you, then start exploring NUI, TUI, embodied interactions, ubiquitous computing, conversational UI, HMI etc. See which area under these advanced HCI topics offers career prospects and take a personal call

Uhhh, if you like technology and there are multiple aspects to UX as you might already know. You can choose to specialise in one of those aspects instead of screen design.
