user-1: In my meditation, I face a paradox. The quality of a single session of meditation is usually quite good for me. However, in terms of regularity across sessions, I struggle immensely, skipping sessions continuously. How can there arise such a discrepancy between a single meditation session's quality and my ability to be consistent? Are those reliant on different faculties? Is there a way to remedy this?

user21231: Ignore the quality of your sits, at least for now.  That's largely irrelevant.  Consistency is far more important.  At this stage of the game, the most important thing for you do be doing is generating momentum in your practice.  You want to develop habit energy or, dare I say it, good karma.
The great way isn't about blissing out on the cushion.  It's about being a selfless, sweating mule resolutely putting one foot in front of the other as he climbs up the mountain.  Sometimes a cool breeze blows through, but for a long time it's just the humid lowland air, the bugs, and aching legs.  Don't judge your practice by how it makes you feel.  Instead, evaluate it according to your dedication.  After all, we can never really tell where we are on the path.  But we can evaluate our commitment to walking it.

Koan 17 of the Hekiganroku
Cutting through nails and breaking steel for the first time, one could
be called a Master of the First Principle. If you run away from arrows
and evade swords you will be a failure in Zen. The place where even a
needle cannot enter I’ll leave aside for a while, but when the foaming
billows wash the sky, what will you do with yourself then?
Case
A monk asked Kyorin, “What is the meaning of Bodhidharma’s coming from
the west?” “Sitting long and getting tired.”
