It takes discipline and setting up a new habit by practicing at the same time every day. From my experience working with others it helps to pick a time either early morning or evening when nobody can bother you. Which method you pick should be done after you research a bit and understand why in the past people meditated. In the past meditation was not used to feel good or to feel happy, feelings are transitory, meditation was one of the tools to release one from the rounds of rebirth, karma, the cycle of samsara. You can look at rebirth as being born and dying from one thought, intention, action to the next if you can't figure out karma. Depending on the method meditation helps one develop concentration, let go of old conditioning, seeing one's feelings, thoughts, emotions as something in flux, not solid, eventually will pass away from which they came. Some meditations help one follow their thoughts and feelings to their source and turn and look at who is the witness...that takes retreat time.
The easiest meditation to learn is working with the breath and you can find all sorts of online help through youtube. Look up anapaunasati and Shamatha meditation, I have worked with a lot of people that have had success using these methods.
