For this proposal to move forward, we need 60 followers and 40 questions with 10 votes or more. Now since this question already has 10 votes, use your vote on other questions which has < 10 votes (Unless your vote is downvote ;-) ). Remember, you only has 5 votes for each proposal. – Krishnabhadra Apr 22 at 6:03
@Krishnabhadra I disagree. The goal isn't just to get 40 questions with 10 votes. The goal is to define the site. Finding out which are the top questions and which questions are better than others is part of that. – THelper Apr 25 at 11:35

Very good question.. – Krishnabhadra Mar 26 at 7:02
Far too subjective, IMO. – Flimzy May 16 at 23:04
@Flimzy It's actually a problem I encounter regularly. I'd like to meditate once a day, but often fail because I'm either too tired or too busy with other things. – THelper May 17 at 5:19

@Flimzy As someone who had started to try out meditation 8 months ago, motivation is the problem I faced most. This is my most favorite of all questions given here. – Krishnabhadra May 17 at 6:24
It's not a question of whether it's a real problem; it's a question of whether it's a good question for an SE site. As it's worded, it is not. It is too subjective. Someone could write books on motivation (and in fact, they have). The question needs to be narrowed SIGNIFICANTLY before it will work in the SE format. – Flimzy May 17 at 17:25

Isn't this too vague.. There are umpteen methods to meditate. I don't think this will result in a good QA thread.. – Krishnabhadra Jan 18 at 2:44
