Congratulations on your Baptism.

It is possible to take on too much too quickly.  If I want to train for a marathon after having been a couch potato for years, I'm not going to get up one day and run the 26 miles or even the 13.

So just start with relatively modest goals, the minimum being, IMO, a Morning Offering followed by 5-10 minutes of mental prayer or meditation, evening examination of conscience and Act of Contrition, the 3 Haily Marys (morning and evening), and the Holy Rosary.  I strongly recommend 15 decades, the entire Rosary, each day.  I like to break it up to 5 decades 3 different times of the day.  Just stick to these practices no matter how "dry" you feel.  Dryness is actually one of the first steps toward progress in the spiritual life, and it can often develop into a "Dark Night of the Senses".  At the end of the day, love of God is in the will (informed by the intellect), not in the senses or the emotions, so God will sometimes withdraw the consolations of the senses in order to strengthen the will and the intellect, the higher faculties.  But fight through it and stick with those minimums you've set for yourself.  Once you get into a solid habit of the above, then you could gradually, little by little, introduce more, say 15 minutes of spiritual reading, 15 minutes of reading Sacred Scripture (or go back and forth), additional mental prayer, etc.

So set a modest/minimum routine or habit of prayer, and do not deviate from it, regardless of how hard it might see or how dry you might get, realizing that the dryness does not make you farther from God but is actually working to bring you closer to Him.

You may want to read from Fr. Garrigou Lagrange's Three Ages of the Interior Life, which discusses how one progresses to holiness, through the "dark nights".

Baptism does not completely eliminate the consequnces of Original Sin, conscupiscence, a tendency toward sloth/laziness, gluttony, irascibility, etc.

If you like Three Ages, here's a link to Volume 2.

Here's a similar book by Fr. Tanquerey, The Spiritual Life, which is a bit more compact / concise / terse.  We used this text at St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary as the textbook for the introductory class in "Ascetical and Mystical Theology".

Were you baptized using the Traditional Rite of Baptism or the New Rite? Was the minister a validly-ordained priest using the Traditional Rite or someone else?

The reason I ask is that the New Rite of Baptism removes certain exorcisms and anointings that St. Thomas Aquinas says are critical to remove the obstacles to divine grace:

If you were not baptized using the Traditional Rite, you can have a traditional priest provide the "Supplying Ceremonies of Baptism" The process takes approximately 15 minutes.

The Divine Mercy is a false devotion. Change this to the Rosary.

These days, I try not to brush aside anything that the Church approves under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It would be terrible if the Holy Spirit abandons the Church when she is making such important acts of discernment, we would be lost then.

Can I ask, what kind of community are you in, in order to stay close and tightly-knitted within the Catholic circle? Or what advice can you provide me if I am looking for one? I ask this because apart from the Sunday Mass, there isn't really much contact (at least from my observations based on my own experiences).

I have added these prayers among my list of My Prayer in my Laudate app. Thank you, RosaryTrad!
