Hi lefthandman,
First off welcome!
Secondly, simply using the metronome consistently is something to be said about your practice is something to be said, at least to me. Even I don't use my metronome consistently like I should. What kind of stuff are you practicing and why do you think that your sessions are inefficient? Answer those two questions and I'm sure we'll be able to help you out some more!
If you aren't already, start learning scales (pentatonic are the most referred to start learning on this site I do believe) and practicing those. Depending on what you want to be playing, look at the alt picking lessons to start and then maybe after your "practice" go find another lesson or a song that you want to learn and try applying your new techniques (like alt picking) to the song.
