Actually at those periods in my life where I am disciplined enough to meditate regularly, I become much more effective at work. These are some of the effects:
1. Basically nothing distracts me from whatever I want to focus on.
2. I have no sense of procrastination. I automatically do what's most important, without any sense of resentment, frustration or dislike.
3. My concentration is formidable. Strong, without tension.
4. I listen much more attentively to others, and pick up nuances in their words and body language that I ordinarily wouldn't. Therefore I know better what they are trying to communicate.
5. I exude calm and confidence.
The space cadets you refer to are the ones who got unbalanced in the sixth chakra. Feels nice, but spacey. There is a simple cure for that. It's called a grounding exercise. It's got to do with pushing energy down; it takes only a few minutes and you can feel it very clearly, like physical movements inside your body.
