A suggestion: What helps me is to take a few moments and pray to receive Our Lord spiritually.
Use the form of prayer you are most used to. I use the Liguorian one. then I do a brief adoration and thanksgiving. It doesn't add much time and helps concentration a lot.
I believe that Our Lady of the Rosary at Fatima was asking for a whole rosary daily, not just 5. Decades because when she spoke of the 5 First Saturdays she said " Five Decades" which to me implies that the accustomed Rosary is 15.
If you look at our forums prayers library, Hobbledehoy has posted Father Garrigou-Lagranges Rosary meditations. They may help.
A few other suggestions: ask your guardian angel for help, ask St. Joseph for help and make a trade with the Poor Souls. A priest suggested the last one, and it really works, after all, you are praying for them anyway, since Our Lady asked you to, so just ask them to help you, and they will be happy to. They are not able to merit for themselves any longer, but are able to pray for others.
As you give yourself time to say your full rosary each day, you'll be amazed at the way it all works out. Our Lady is never outdone in generosity. In time, when you feel that old familiar distaste returning, you'll confidently return to your prayers, assured that Our Lord loves you so much that he is blessing you with this small burden (not really a cross, just a little bitty burden). I hope some of this helps.
