When do you practice the meditation? I’ve been struggling to find a good spot to fit it into my routine. Usually I’m too anxious to get working in the morning,

  The best times for me are either at lunch time, or late afternoon / early evening. I like to use it to help transition between parts of the day, it's a good way to wind down and collect yourself so you can change gears. I mostly wfh these days, so it's not hard to find a quiet spot, but when I went into the office I would usually just take a lunch break in a nearby park and put headphones in, nobody bothered me. Walking meditations can be nice too if your space to practice is limited or noisy. If it comes to it though, morning sessions are actually pretty great. It's only 15 min so if your schedule allows it, doing it then and just observing the work anxiety might actually be great practice. Probably worth trying at various times and seeing what is most effective. Agreed about before bed time being tough though, I would fall asleep if I did it then.

    I recently stopped meditating. I got some nice benefits at the beginning but diminishing returns set in. The skills I learned are certainly still valuable to me and I use them enough during my week that I'm not afraid of losing them. I quit because I wanted to take guitar lessons and needed to find 30 minutes a day for practice.
