The Buddha Project Reply To: Do you always meditate at the same time and for the same length?
As Buddhists, we believe that Right Speech takes priority over Free Speech. Put simply, Right Speech means abstaining from gossip and talk which is false, malicious, or harsh. Write only what you believe to be true and relevant, voicing your opinion with kindness and patience. Avoid worldly, partisan, or discriminatory topics and remarks that are patriarchal, misogynist, sexist, racist, anti-semitic, pro-nazi, bio essentialist, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic or any other kind of hateful views even if such advocacy is couched in terms of ‘discussing the texts’ or ‘maintaining tradition’.

Hello there, my first visit here to the new site, what a great resource this is.
I find sticking to the same time schedule helps me immensely as if I know my meditation time is coming up, the subconscious already begins to prepare in advance and I am able to more quickly find my space and apply a little mental discipline if I find myself in danger of procrastinating.
I try to keep the minimum to 30 minutes morning, 30 minutes evening, although I expand the time slot if needed or desired.
This provides me with vital ‘bookends’ to my day.
