I am of the oppinion that one must work all one's life for like 6 hours a day pretty much the more the better even meditate one's entire life we live our lives anyway so we might as well meditate for like 20 30 min. a day even a little like that every day but then it has to be all one's life pretty much any is hugely beneficial! 10000 hours is invaluable it is very sought after so to do that one could meditate 20 30 min. a day and then in case one did that one's whole life one would reach it of course the meditation assists somewhat as it is done throughout one's life whenever one starts, so there's that but it makes sense to go for it it is a huge improvement and even just to go for huge improvements and improvements

Maybe this would help:
Can you describe here what you do for meditation? I mean can you explain in your words what your practice is? Most people have to work for a living so the minutes and hours etc. may not be available to catch up to what you do. Can you explain how you approach tranquility how it is the practice different than not meditating

1) probably usually people who live in monasteries or go on long retreats don't post about it
2) Generally part of the practice is doing simple tasks with mindfulness to integrate what happens on the cushion with the rest of life just sitting is not a balanced practice
3) Certainly a life dedicated to practice makes a big difference, but there is no guaranty that a certain amount of time invested will have a certain result. If not done for its own sake, meditation would seem to be just another form of getting, or hoping to get. And as such ultimately frustrating
4) Good luck, and best wishes

I sit on the cushion bhante said we don't have to do anything maybe I step aside or go for not being sidetracked by the distractions taken to where they want me to go (will me) I want to learn it and wanted it it is a skill and a practice sometimes I have actually done it a practice tried to be there like more mindful and sharper possibly some going away from the distractions like escaping a hurricane there is so much to do with it but do our best with it I have had benefit from it just a little like 10 seconds (on the cushion) and then weightlifting and drawing or something like that a winning streak I have had up to 3 benefits after very little meditation (practical)

can I explain how I draw you go to where there is the least friction or disturbance or turbulence thus the mind becomes happy like this when we sit in the midst of change the mind does not interfere as much and the mind can change in a less disturbed way as a less disturbed thing

hey I really meditated today thought I did and it was beneficial but now I get that thing about the payoff is big it takes care of the future greeted my bro in a happy and extremely good way I think it can even take care of the garden I tried to follow my breath I want more of it I only meditated some of the time small parts of the time but I want to do it again and more I should meditate all the time when I sit

Try it but I don't think it will feel anything like amphetamine, unfortunately. I don't notice any effects when consuming vitamin C.
