It's true, really, I'm not lying.

If we can learn to be mindful all of the time, we don't need to set aside time to "meditate", as we're already doing it! This is one form of "meditation", which can also be called Samatha-Vipassana, that Ajahn Chah taught was useful to do throughout your day, during all of your activities, rather than simply at a specific "time" or "place". It's using the breath as your anchor and to calm the mind, and paying attention.

This can help us to do work, our jobs, without adding feelings (which may be negative). We simply see them arise, acknowledge them, and continue to work. Very useful!
