I mean, look, Zen observation has its uses. As previously mentioned, I do see how it's useful for people that are really busy and want to clear their mind. Doing something simple and focusing on it can be useful. It's also useful if you have a variety of simple pleasures in your day, as focusing on them can make them better instead of skipping over them and not really realizing them.
But I don't see how focusing on being, or focusing on an uninteresting activity, is worthwhile.
If I'm doing something for which the sensory inputs are highly pleasurable, or the thoughts in my head are currently very interesting, then I can see how such an activity is useful.
