If you haven’t tried the Waking Up with Sam Harris app, I’d recommend trying it.

During a session, Sam described a method of meditation between tasks.

A task could be making a cup of tea or listening to music.
It could be something more mundane thing like washing dishes or fixing a hole.

The method encourages meditation between tasks. It begins with a few questions.

What if this is it?

What if in this moment, there are no problems to solve?

What if this moment is all there is?

When I ask myself these questions now, a few more arise.

If ‘this moment’ is all there is, doesn’t that imply what we think of as moments in time are all really this moment?

If every moment is this moment, doesn’t that mean in every moment past there were no problems to solve?

If every moment is this moment, doesn’t that mean in every moment to come there will be no problems to solve?

If every moment is this moment, doesn’t that mean there are never any problems to solve?

If every moment is this moment, doesn’t that mean there are no problems to solve during my next task?

Then it’s time for the task.

Considering man suffers when he takes seriously what the gods made for fun, I would like to say a few words: Nitwit! Blubber!
