I did a 10 day V in Thailand a few years ago. There we did 9 hrs of meditation each day, the whole time in silence. It was very, very difficult.

Clear a space, perhaps a particular part of the room that is used strictly and solely for meditating. Set aside a certain time of day / night that you WILL sit, even if you are not "meditating" in the technical sense. This means, the computer and phone, etc. are OFF, your eyes are closed, and you are bringing as much of your attention to the practice as you can -- each day / night keep this time set aside for this and, over time, your intention & resolve will increase.

The 10-day retreats are good for extracting you from the distractions and such that get in the way so to give you a chance to give the practice is rightful justice. After that, it's up to you to maintain that clarity and distinction and, to me, what the whole practice is about. I have done the one 10-day practice back in Oct. and quickly lost track of the regular practice upon return. Now, I sit when I can -- and have set plans to return for another 10-day at the end of the summer. By then, I hope to have a more regular practice, or, at least on my way to one, in the process of using the 10 days to deepen my commitment and intention.
