A lot of what you say resonates with me and my recent experience. I found that when I need meditation the least, it's easy to find time and the process is effortless. When I need to meditate the most, this is when I can't find the time and settling down for even a minute is tough. I dont know what the long term effects are, but certainly short term effects are striking. Keep on meditating :)
