The biggest impact has definitely been with an increase in my self-awareness, especially in the presence of great pressure. Such an increase is not as consistently present as I want it to be, perhaps, but it's present enough to make me realize that practicing meditation, and mindfulness as a whole, helps me.

My meditation tends to be simple - wherever I am, I pretty much just take a seat, time a few deep breaths, keep my eyes closed, and either reflect with an objective in mind or just let my mind wander for 10 to 15 minutes. No mobile app, no fancy bells or whistles, nothing like that. No set schedule either, though I'm sure some sort of set schedule would be a great way to approach meditation and be more measured about meditating.
