I've been reading a few threads around here and there seems to be a lot of posts on procrastination with people picking up a lot of knowledge but failing to utilize it. It's a familiar story and one I know well. It's also usually a story common to meditation. Everyone wants the benefits of meditation but few are willing to sit in boredom for twenty minutes.
The whole point of meditation is to calm your mind, lose excess baggage and maintain focus on the present. If that's what you want then I suggest you try it and assess the results for yourself.

Is there any resources for these kinds of meditation?
Like most other people, I'm an inconsistent meditator due to a massive ego that doesn't like to be shut out, even if just for a short period. Oddly, I'm growing increasingly fond of zazen, which doesn't use any gimmicks to grab your attention, well known for its difficulty in practice. I'm always open to suggestions though.
