Trying something new every night can make cooking feel like an assignment. Repeating a meal once or twice creates a little space for the rest of life.
Choose a few reliable dinners and vary one part when you want to: the vegetable beside the beans, the herb in the dressing, or the grain beneath a bowl. Keep enough of the meal familiar that the change does not require a new shopping trip.
Plan around how much time you really have. The evening with the latest finish is usually the wrong place for the most unfamiliar recipe.
If you get bored, add one new dish to the rotation and give it another attempt before judging it. A meal often becomes easier and better once you know where the pan needs less heat or the sauce needs more water.
