Very true, do everything for a reason, not just because. 2 hours of meditation of not being there, of creating a shopping list while you do your AoP of 300 vibration, is way much worse and even counter productive than a fully focused AoP working of 5-10 vibration and proper preparation.
Everyone is free to do whatever they want, when you look at meditation as a burden and necessity, think about this: there is no force or intelligence that obligates you to do this, it is your own choice to do this for a reason, you have a reason because you want to overcome material limitations and become an advanced and free soul that is directly governed by the Gods instead of faith.
You maybe feeling burned out, you might be doing too much. Decrees the amount as much as you need. The Gods won't be mad at you for this, in fact if you'll have more quality meditations like this, the Gods will be rather proud and happy.
If you feel like there is room for more, then increase, BUT DON'T DO THIS OUT OF GUILT AND EGO, you'll won't necessary become better or stronger because you 2x your meditations, only expand the time and add more if you have an actual reason, intellectual reason, not feelings, and capacity to do that.
A great milestone and what you should work towards, is overcoming feelings and emotions.

II. Meditation: Activating the Higher Soul
Daily meditation is the core practice of ascent. Through sustained concentration, the practitioner gradually shifts their centre of identity from the body and emotions (subject to fate) to the Nous (governed by Providence). The shift is real, not metaphorical: a genuine change in the locus of onsciousness.
The meditator who can hold awareness above the level of reactive emotion is, in Proclus' terms, operating from the soul's higher aspect. At that level, the chains of karma still exist, but they act upon the lower vehicles rather than upon the core self. You experience the consequences of past actions, but you aren't overwhelmed by them.

When you put effort in your meditation, that's when you can really open the Gates to power and 100x your advancement even with 100x less repetitions and time. If you just vibrate something and affirm and not even being there; this everyone can do, this is not something nature awards because everyone can do this, the actual hard and fruitful thing is to open the Gates, to connect to the real powers and the Gods and be able to do the meditations properly and fully focused, and fully relaxed, fully present.
Also, Theurgy didn't exist for a lot of time in the ToZ, this is essential and people have to make the change, change from being an individual to a Dedicated Zevist who walk with the Gods and towards them. If you have any problem, do the correct ritual for this, open the Gates, and immerse yourself with the infinity energy of the Gods. Let immerse you, let it transform you, let it govern your life instead of faith. You should also pray before or after to ask for help in a problem. And it will be done. You can be symbolic as well, for love, do the rituals of Aphrodite, open the Gates to Her Garden, pray to her, get a flower from the Garden and give it to the person you want to make fall in love with you.
The point of Theurgy is this: you open the Gates to the God's power so that it transform you, your mind, your soul, and your life, and so that you can use that power.
