I'm a couple years into my acoustic guitar journey and it's still very much a stickler for me.

Something that massively helped was a friend mentioning I should make sure my guitar was "set up". I took it into a guitar shop and asked and it turns out that on brand new guitars there are often some small adjustments to the neck, bridges and frets that can really improve how hard you have to press for the note. Guitars may warp slightly over time as well depending on their storage, climate etc... so sometimes tweaking can be needed later in it's life. And some people prefer certain tweaks, lower versus higher action. So even if you guitar isn't new it might still need some tweaking for you.

I'd never heard anyone mention it before my friend did (and not much since) and it made a big difference in my case. I went from slightly dreading my practice sessions to feeling much more enthusiastic. It was just that much easier to play. Might be worth asking about. No idea if it really applies on electric if that's what you're playing.

Best of luck, I've had a fun ride so far and I hope yours is too!
