Do not stop your routine or it will be hard to start up again. Go outside if other people are loud. Go to a quiet room. Start with tapes that direct you like jon kabbot zin mindfulness then move on to less directed ones in his series with bells, then you can just use meditation music. Do not listen to your special meditation music when not meditating you want to associate it only with meditation. get a walk man sort of device to listen to this stuff. Think of it as a practice you do not have to be perfect, just keep bringing yourself back to your meditation if your mind wanders. You will get more and more focused. If you really want to meditate you must forget the TV and Net and carve out a time. Everyone has it.

The secret is to take a class; meet with a sangha. Go to retreats where everyone is meditating. That way you don't have to make the motivation yourself. Eventually you will be able to. If you don't have the self discipline to do it by yourself, go to a class like yoga or dance meditation or zen meditation or vipassana etc.

Find someone else who wants to do the same kind of thing, and check up on each other. Ask them and make them ask you every night if you meditated, and hold each other accountable.

How important is it to you?
You will make the time if you feel it has some degree of value to you; otherwise, forget about it.
