Will DrawABox help me enjoy the process?

I'm trying to decide what to do next in my art journey.
In 2020 I did a 100 portrait drawing challenge and I hugely improved my skills, but ever since that challenge I've never done art consistently. I have done maybe 5 or so portraits since then, but I just simply don't enjoy the process of drawing much. (It might sound like I should quit art, but I do have a passion for it and I always come back to wanting to make it, which is why I want to figure out how to enjoy it.)
At the beginning of this year I decided not to force drawings and I set out to find what kind of art I actually enjoy making, unfortunately I really haven't done much with art since then. Right now I'm ready to actually move forward and grow my skills, but I'm not sure where I should start. I've started and stopped DAB a couple times before and I know that I want to actually finish it eventually, but I'm wondering if now is a good time to do it or not.
Does anyone have any insight as to whether they think I should go through DAB (including the 50% rule) or maybe just forget about growing skills for the present and just try to have fun with art? (or some other option).
(I feel like my brain goes off when I try and ask questions on here, so if there's any details I missed that are important or if it's confusing, just lmk)
