at the risk of butting into a private conversation,
one thing i've found helpful is to define a schedule & when it's 'time
to sit' - sit with no questions.  then when doing dishes - no
questions about leaving for the cushion...  however, it's _always_
useful to practice 'dishes/driving/working' meditation (& i don't have
to ponder whether dishes are best done standing or squating ;-)

this made me smile, 
& was actually the reason for posting -
very embarrassing - but when i first began sitting i imagined myself
as the 'luke skywalker' of the seated position...

sigh, 'i was so much older then, i'm younger than that now'
