You can become decent in a key in one week.
Don't try to learn everything at once. Pick a key, and make that your key for the moment. Before you do ANYTHING in the key you chose, play the scale for that key over and over....for at least a good 10 minutes. First with your left hand, then with your right, then both (10 min may not sound like a long time, but when you're doing ONE scale over and over, it feels long).
Learn your 7-3-6-2-5-1 in that key, and do it over and over and over. About 30 minutes... Then pick a song that has a 1-4-5 progression and play it over and over and over. Another 30 minutes. Then do your favorite 2-5-1's. About 20 minutes
Do that for the first 3 days. For the other 4 days, transpose your favorite movements to this key, and play them till they're automatic. Again, play that scale for 10 minutes before you start anything in your new key.
In a week, you should be able to hold down a song in this new key. You won't be GREAT at first (nobody is) but it'll come. Also, pick songs that you know and play them in this new key. It's the practical experience of playing an actual song that will do the most good.
The key is to step out of your comfort zone. My favorite key is Db, and everytime I get on I want to play Db.
But if you ONLY practice what you know right now, you'll never know more than you know right now!
