Timing:When trying to concentrate.
Five more minutes, read five more pages, finish five more letters, whatever it is just do five more before you give up and give in.
Please refer to the book for more details on this activity.
Actually 5 more is too much for me at the moment so I try to go for one more minute. Let me clear what it is: last week I have joined gym because I was gaining lot of weight which was causing too much of breathing problem. It is very exhausting for me after initial 2 minutes on crosstrainer so I go on with one more.
This "5 More" keeps me going, no matter how boring or frustrating the task it is. But it actually works on me.
I remember, meditation has never been that easy initially. I used to say "5 seconds more" then yes 5 minutes more and now I am able to meditate for 30 minnutes with losing my focus.
