The Real Problem With Meditation Is Not Motivation
Most people do not quit meditation because they dislike it. They quit because it does not fit into daily life.
Research on behavior change consistently shows that contextual fit predicts adherence better than intention.
What the Research Shows About Adherence
A review by Crane and Williams highlights that rigid meditation formats reduce long-term engagement.

People stick with practices that:
- Fit existing routines
- Require minimal setup
- Adapt to fluctuating energy and mood
Why Activity-Based Meditation Works Better
Activity-based meditation removes key friction points:
- No need to stop life
- No need to find perfect conditions
- No pressure to perform meditation "correctly"
This makes practice more sustainable.
How intuno Is Designed Around Adherence
intuno starts with a simple assumption:
Meditation should adapt to life, not the other way around.
That is why intuno:
- Suggests meditations based on current activity
- Encourages flexibility over streaks
- Focuses on continuity, not intensity
By embedding meditation into daily behavior, intuno supports the kind of repetition that brain plasticity requires.
Practical Takeaway
The best meditation is the one you actually do. Activity-based practice makes that possible.
