In a  small research study last year, for participants who had never meditated before, even four sessions of mindfulness meditation led to reduced fatigue and anxiety, and significantly improved visuo-spatial processing, working memory, and executive functioning.  The authors state that "fourdays of meditation training can enhance the ability to sustain attention; benefits that have previously been reported with long-term meditators."
