1. POV People who are interested in meditating but feel too busy need to have easy, simple access to meditations because the current process of learning and practicing meditation seems too inaccessible. Keryn, Gail, Travis, Chris Tuesday, February 26, 13
2. Quotes We interviewed 9 people, including college students, mothers, and a teenager. “I can see how it would help people in the long run, but I’m more focused on the urgent things that need to get done. I know about the long-term benefits of becoming more mentally healthy, but it’s difficult for me to actualize it.” “People do what they have to do rather than what they need to do.” “I’m so stressed it’s hard to leave [my work].” Tuesday, February 26, 13
3. NOI 1. Although meditation is an individual activity, people seek social support for discipline, knowledge, and camaraderie to perform it. 2. People who feel too busy to meditate are the people who would benefit most from meditating. 3. People find it difficult to find the motivation to meditate now because many of the valuable benefits are long term and the immediate benefits are less concrete and tangible. Tuesday, February 26, 13
