Well, work on it consiously at first and with a very slow tempo. After some days/weeks of practice, it should come naturally.
Just keep working on it dude, and you will get there eventually -------------------- Gear:

You should keep trying at slow speeds until it comes to you naturally. If you're having trouble keeping your finegrs close try higher frets, like starting on the 7 fret.

Don't overdo either hand - you should seek balance in both right and left hand when playing.

Fingers don't even need to be close to the fretboard, it's all matter of practice. It is better to keep them close to minimize the movements, but in reality they can go 2-3 cm apart from the frets it doesn't matter as long as it is precise. I would recommend to keep them close tho, cause then you are building a more "neater" technique and fingers are moving less, so you watch for them in the long run.
Everything starts from slow, you're right. Try to fret the notes while keeping fingers close to strings and do it all the time, and in some time your technique will tend to go in that direction. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Yeah, you don't have to think about it that much.
Practice slow and keep your playing clean. And while you're upgrading the speed your fingers will naturally stick closer to the fretboard cause there will be no time to keep them too far away. -------------------- Youtube
