I was recently re-reading Osho’s book, The Empty Boat, where he claims that if you put a watch with a second hand in front of you and try to keep your attention on it, you’ll fail almost immediately. Fifteen seconds, twenty, thirty at most – then the mind slips off into some other thought, and you forget you were ever watching. Holding awareness unbroken for even a single minute, he says, is genuinely hard.
