there are ways to make it easier; it's been gamified:

Available on FDROID.

When my partner stops to play pokemon go, I complete some Open Street Map info quests...

Street Complete is a great app for quests regarding existing features, but also consider the feature might not exist at all yet in OSM.

Map Complete is great for adding new features. It also asks a bunch of optional simple questions about the feature which gets converted into the relevant OSM tags. It's browser based but you can just add a shortcut to your home screen to have it quickly accessible.

Now that StreetComplete has overlay layers for places and things you can add most of the thing you'd want to add in person.

So many quests right on my street!
