5 Practical Things Meditation Can Teach You | A Life of Productivity

Meditation won't change what happens to you. But it will teach you how to approach your experiences differently:

• You experience more joy and less suffering.
• You’re able to feel peace regardless of your external circumstances. 
• Negative emotions won't cloud your life.

It helps you clear your mind and focus on what is really important, especially during challenging and stressful times.

... because it helps you be effective with your time and attention, so you have more room to be there for others.

Our mind wanders for 47% of the day. That means we spend on average 7.5 hours unfocused.

Meditation helps you improve those numbers a bit, by learning to focus all your attention on just one thing at a time.

... on your most addictive devices.

Disabling notifications, and setting screen time limits all help. But these solutions are external. Meditation helps you notice the impulses that lead to obsessively use technology.
