I find myself wasting more time trying to master this thing that does nothing for me, rather then perhaps spending time on methods that do work for me.

Hi S.B.
A very good introduction and welcome to BWB. I use breathing and can confirm that as long as you are attempting to "master" this thing, you will be wasting your time. There is simply nothing to master with breathing meditation as Buddha taught it. It is mindfulness of the breath, that's all. No Pranayama or tricks.

I don't know what instructions you are following so I can't make much more useful comment but from what you have written they seem to have lead you off on a tangent.

Namaste
