I, too, experienced this challenge, specifially with meditation. What helped me, after learning the basics of breath meditation (and reading Wherever You Go) was committing to "trigger-based" meditation. I decided that whenever I was... * annoyed by something, anything. experiencing annoyance. * waiting for something. * in a work meeting I didn't need to actively participate in. ... I would, internally, begin a breath meditation, and hold it for as long as I remembered to. This technique by itself has been life-changing for me, and I can't recommend it enough. It helped me train my attention-focus, and gradually but quickly improved my experience.
