I have the same experience. I find taking a shower or a walk easier than meditating, but meditating seems to have a stronger effect. That said, all three help tremendously with the more intuitive leaps that I often need to solve particular problems (in work or life), as well as with maintaining a more peaceful state. Forcing myself to do these things has been one of the biggest improvements in my life, in particular in dealing with my anxiety and stress issues.
