Just pick it up everyday and you'll see improvement. Even if it's just for 5 minutes. That will eventually turn into 30 minutes and then before you know it you'll be slammin' for hours and hours everyday.
I have a Squire Tele and an Epi acoustic, but they don't get much love these days. I spend more of my time on my Kentucky mandolin and my recently acquired Contessa plectrum banjo. I also have an old bowlback mandolin that I'm slowly bringing back to life.
Exactly. And if you practice in front of the tv, you'll be up to hours of practice before you realize it. At least, that's how it worked for me when I started.
Word. Heck, that's what I do most of the time now anyway. Turn on a show and just play my electric unplugged just to keep my fingers moving.
That's how I end most days: turn on Netflix, grab the strat of my wall and noodle around for a couple hours. Perfect way to wind down after work
Sounds like we have a very similar guitar practicing regimen. Haha.
Great minds think alike they say

Playing and somewhat watching/listening to Netflix is a method I use almost every day.

I've got a quick question. What, if anything, do I need to put on a rosewood fretboard to condition it?
I need my left finger tips to harden up so I can go more than 10-15 minutes!
Me, I just pick out melodies on this, Harmony tenor. Country, jazz standards, whatever song gets stuck in my ear. It's fun.
Zerogravity- Try a couple separate 10 minute sessions each day, the key is to be consistent and do it every day, your fingers will toughen up and the sessions get longer. Also be sure your guitar is set up properly with the strings the correct distance above he frets, my first wasn't, sky high steel strings, took a long time.

Well that Harmony certainly survived well! 
I mostly play a mex telecaster, it's got an ash body 5 years old and has never had a problem.
Often I've thought of trading up to a USA mfg model but when played side by side frankly the
made in Mexico is my axe of choice.

I often do the same. Have a "couch" guitar (pine Tele partscaster) that is particularly resonant unplugged, so It lives next to the couch. Then there's the next to the bed guitar (Hwy 1 Strat & 5w Blackstar) , the patio guitar (Taylor GS mini)..... gotta keep 'em handy for when a good song comes on.
Lemon oil. Used sparingly and not particularly frequently. Usually I'll clean and oil a rosewood board when I change strings.

Lemon oil conditioner. Planet Waves and Gibson both make a good fretboard conditioner. Don't use too much.
