I don't know that there's really a specific thing that's easy to pin down. Generally, it's some combination of restlessness and distraction (which seem pretty thoroughly related) which come up for me. Whether it manifests as grabbing to play with my phone, fidgeting to get more comfortable, or something else, it always seems related to some desire for a greater sense of comfort through some means of "escape".

I come to feel like a simple little child.
That is a good thing.

Well for me, meditation is all about routines. Every morning I wake up, have a bowl of cereal, and then sit down to meditate. I don't think about it.
Every day around noon I go for a walk. To fit more time to meditate into my day, I take that as an opportunity to pause everything and stay with my breath as I walk.

     I suppose my cue to meditation is the routine I've established over the years.  In addition to this, I am aware that there are many benefits to regular meditation, as have been unquestionably shown by the battery of research that has been undertaken on the practice since, probably the mid '70's.  So, I strive to maintain my regular practice of meditating twice per day.
     Finally, I'm retired, so it's far easier for me to maintain my practice than it might be for a young mother and/or father with family responsibilities for children and work.  Of course, I have been there too, but I always tried to meditate daily even if only for a short time or only once per day.  I believe it's one's intention that is most important.  Maintain that intention always in the back of your mind and I promise, things will work out.  Blessings.
