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.
