I am reading The Power of Now by Eckard Tolle. It is really fascinating and makes me realize that my mind is really the cause of all my difficult situations. I am REALLY attached to the mind and all of its insanity, but I am going to give the principles of this book a good try.
I'm not meditating yet, but as soon as I've finished the book I will.
I agree with Tallulah that it's about making the time. All of the energy that we focus outward just drains us, spiritually. Letting go of the unhealthy, painful constructs of the mind--sounds impossible, but I am beginning to sense that the energy could be used for much more positive, peaceful living.
