When meditating correctly the effects from the session linger throughout the day falling away slowly. It’s like microdosing.
When in a lingering elevated state from the previous session it becomes quicker to build up, so a 2 hour session turns into a 30 minute session into a 15 minutes.
Isolation makes this easier. Work can pull one out of this making it more challenging. Some people find long 2+ hour sits beneficial. Others find mediating twice a day to work. In my situation I mildly carried the tranquility of my practice throughout the day, a sort of 24/7 meditation which worked well for me. Ymmv.
In my personal experience the enjoyment and tranquility feels nice so you just keep going without a timer. This builds. If I feel like I have to meditate or I’m not enjoying it longer sessions are worse than shorter sessions. I’d rather work out my issues instead of meditate at that point.
