I struggle with the transition too. Just started reading https://www.amazon.com/Shift-into-Freedom-Open-Hearted-Awareness/dp/B074CM34W6 … - in my limited experience thus far, his "glimpse practices" do seem promising as a path to everyday mindfulness. Recommended!
When I meditate and count breaths on a normal day, I can make it to 4 or 5 breaths before my mind wanders. On my last silent 10 day retreat, I counted to 76 breaths and just stopped since it was so easy -- I felt like I could have gone to a million... Retreat vs. real world

What is your brain wandering to? I usually find in my first meditation my brain wanders a lot. I get all of those small tasks done with and then I can meditate much longer on my second try of the day.

This is just what works for me, don’t know if it’s beneficial long term or really fits with the ideals of meditation.
