Hey Eric, at risk of sounding like I know a lot about this, there are two facets that make it hard to fit in. The benefits take days to appear and it's uncomfortable in the beginning. Like running, it's hard to start a practice of meditating, but if you do 1 minute, then 5 minutes, then work your way up to 20 minutes, there is a breaking point where you will do it because the benefits are clearly making your life richer. Colors appear more vibrant, sounds more clear, emotions more fully experienced. You will take more moments, like while stopped at a stoplight, to meditate because it allows joyful feelings rise to the top. Then, you won't ever think, "how can I fit it in," it will become part of you.
