Be prepared to experience small attacks of guilt during the meditation for taking time away from your paper clips. It should help to be decisive before you begin, as Luke recommends, on a minimal amount of time that is worth the expected information gain and performance enhancing effects. Tell the paper clips --- out loud, or at least in a clear voice in your head --- that it's in their interest to wait 15 minutes a day until you're better at making them ;)
I meant seriously.
Secretly, my response was written to be genuine if you replace "paper clips" with whatever your real ambitions are ;)
This is interesting. I don't feel guilty for taking the time, but I'm also not very busy. If meditation would take a noticeable chunk out of my productive time, I probably wouldn't do it. I'll try to keep this in mind if that situation occurs--to at least consider taking the chunk of time anyway.

That's great, thank you. It's also a handy segue; I was going to ask why meditation, particularly among practiced tasks, allegedly must be practiced daily.
