I can see how this is a challenge.
I don't know if this will help you, but for me, if there's ever a motivation challenge, it's getting myself out the door. Once I'm out the door, the ride will take care of itself. So there are times when I tell myself that all I have to do is get out and ride - with no distance or speed goals. I can go down to the nearest bridge over the river and come back (that's about 4 miles RT).
Once I'm out and riding, with no particular goal in mind, likely as not I'll go longer and further than the little bridge loop.
So riding frequently, even if it's not far at all, will likely grow organically into riding frequently and for greater times and distances.
