How Often Do You Meditate?, Poll Poll Poll! Options

And for what purpose/s do you meditate for?

I enter into a sort of contemplative devotional state. It's always in the back of my mind (with a few exceptions.. sometimes I'll lose it if something really demands my attention). I'd consider it meditation because it's one pointed and it makes the day fly by (especially at work, where I just answer phones).

I'm not sure of intent. The way I look at it is that I'm offering my devotion, not my personal interests. I try to keep the "offering" as pure as possible. I try to do puja every day (offerings of incense, food and chanting) and am one-pointed (again with purity of devotion) when I do that. Would that be considered meditation, too?

I would say that, on average, it consumes most of my day.

I recently have been meditating for increasing concentration.

More specifically: I have been exercising my ability to focus on bringing all my attention to bear on directing my body to perform simple tasks with efficiency, with precision, and with smooth grace. I am very slowly increasing the complexity of the tasks that I am performing in a state of such concentration. My goal is for this practice to expand until the process becomes how I perform every task beyond formal meditative periods.
