The idea is basically to notice the cycles of drifting thought. E.g., you brush your teeth. As you brush, your teeth, your mind automatically goes to the fight you had with your SO, or your neighbor's barking dog. You get angry, you get tense. You go out with the same anger, get angry at the barista who is slightly late at delivering you coffee. They look at you and just see a weirdo being overly aggressive.

Now, the final goal of meditation is to basically interrupt the cycle of drifting thought at the start. However, that is hard. Like asking a newbie to deadlift 4 plates, hard. So, in a counter-intuitive way, you start by learning how to focus.

There are multiple ways to do this:

One is to focus very closely as a cycle of thought begins, as it progresses. The very fact of focusing carefully on it, seeing how it automatically evolves and spirals into streams of irrationality, helps you realize that it doesn't define you, it is not you.

Another approach is mindfulness. That is things like breathing in and out, brushing your teeth, whatever. You simply do a task, continue to do it, focusing on it very carefully. Not giving yourself shit if you do get interrupted by thoughts drifting off. Notice that that has happened. Go back to the task.
