Let me paint you a picture: It's 2 AM, I'm surrounded by empty coffee mugs, hair looking like I've been electrocuted, and I'm furiously typing away about... wait for it... the history of sock manufacturing. Glamorous, right? But you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.

Ever feel like you're sprinting through life, constantly chasing the next deadline? Take a breather, friend. We're about to flip the script on productivity.

So, I decided to create my own little meditation haven right at home.

And guess what? It's not nearly as complicated (or expensive) as I thought. Here's how I did it, and how you can too.
