I was taught that sometimes the practice is just sitting still while your brain does its thing and having that frustrating experience.

The first thing I'll do if I find my mind drifting, though, is to check my posture. Straighten the spine while I inhale, relax my legs while I exhale. Repeat a couple of times. Then bring my concentration back to my center.
If I really can't concentrate (a bit ago during the first week after a friend passed for example), I will get out beads and chant a mantra out loud to force everything else down.
I just in the past week finished the best book on meditation I've ever read. It's called "How To Meditate" by Lawrence LeShan. He draws parallels between meditation systems from a number of traditions, and provides examples that are not bound to any specific tradition. My library system had a copy, yours might as well.
