Some people simply can’t get into meditation and have no desire to learn. If you can’t fully shut your brain down to meditate or you get bored trying to practice mindfulness, you’re not alone.

In Defense of Leisure
One way to categorize time is into two buckets: work and leisure. When we’re doing an activity that requires effort and achieves a clear purpose, then we’re doing work.
