I finally started meditating seriously about 6 months ago, but haven't missed a day. Finding good instruction that I could wrap my head around was difficult for me, however, and it was only by experimenting that it finally clicked for me.
If you've tried meditation and given up on it, as I did a number of times, or are interested in a first shot, this is a great place to start. This recording by Alan Watts might be better than anything you can read because he takes you through an exercise. Just ignore the bad music at the beginning, it goes away and there are some funny parts. It is several similar lectures on separate recordings mashed into one video, so it kind of repeats.
