I've been doing mindfulness meditation for around 7 years now (I also have ADD). It helps my focus a bit, but comes with diminished returns over time. I meditate for other reasons but I wouldn't recommend it just for focus. The amount of time and effort it takes isn't worth the marginal benefit to concentration. I still struggle with the same focus problem OP does. |

1. The ability to detect the mind wandering off.
2. The ability to re-direct attention.
There are studies showing that neural circuits linked to 1 + 2 are strengthened when doing mindfulness meditation. This benefit is specific to mindfulness meditation, and hasn't been shown for other types of (secular) meditation like transcendental meditation or relaxation exercises.
