Watch Osho's video called meditation is a very simple phenomenon.

There is a book called "The Mind Illuminated" it's a detailed step by step guide for mindfulness meditation.

Highly recommended?

Don't overthink it.

Just do it ✅

Start with focussing on something, for example counting in and out breaths from 1 to 10 and then starting again at 1, and doing that for 5 minutes. Whenever your thoughts carry you away, return to counting the breath. Meditation can be that simple. 
You can read up on shamatha and vipassāna, the two methods of Buddhist meditation which are often recommended to develop in tandem. The first is for calming the mind, the second is for insight. Counting the breath is a bit of a beginners exercise, it gets more difficult when you try to do things like ‘just sitting’.
