I have been trying to meditate and can go about 7 minutes before boredom overwhelms me. Does it get easier?

from readings on the internet; yes it does. Suggestions are approximately; "treat it like a muscle, by training it - it will get stronger" (longer meditations will take less effort to stay in)

I have no real life experience in it; and feel as though I do not currently have a need to meditate, but that's what the writings seem to say about it.
