Its possibly the most important daily task I have. If you go for weeks meditating, and then take a week off, you'll know what just hit you.

The first week is the hardest. Stick it out. The benefits will come. I use Jon Kabat's tapes and they're perfect.

I meditate for 20 minutes in the morning with one simple rule. DO NOT check email or any input that gives you information (ie. news / social media) before your meditation. It will only make it more difficult.

Last year I went on my first meditation retreat and it was rather insightful. An entire weekend can clear the noise completely from my mind without any urge to dive back into technology.
