I'm also trying to meditate 24/7, so much good can come from doing so in my life. The appeal to me, is that when being completely in the present, I am fully in control of my direction in life, or at the very least, I know what my direction is, as I am aware of what decisions I am making that add up to be my life.
Reality checks are the best way to stay on course, whenever I find myself in a situation where I have forgotten to be in the present, or am randomly thinking about something that is distracting me from my current situation, I do a few RCs, remind myself what I'm doing now, in my life, and that it is right now that determines where my life takes me. Then I switch my attention back onto whatever I want to be doing at the time, whether it be noticing as much as I can in my peripheral vision, or fully taking in everything around me through each of my senses.
This way, I get a lot of RCs in, as well as do more of what I actually want to be doing. I have just implemented this today, and it has been working very well. Before, I would just get lost in my thoughts for long periods of time, desperately trying to reason my way out of them with more thoughts, but only spiraling deeper into yet more thought.
