Whenever I try to meditate I forget that I was meditating :-(

Seems like you're just too good at it. Congrats, you won meditating!

Reminds me of the scene in Parks and Rec where they take Ron to a meditation place and he's just like "what's the big deal? I just sat there and thought about nothing for 2 hours."

No, the opposite, I get lost in my thoughts and forget I was supposed to be meditating :-( Same in the shower: I forget I'm in the shower and end up staying in there for 30 mins
