Plan B 4 years ago

In the beginning I focused most of my attention on not talking or judging. Now that I’ve mastered this part, I need to actually focus on listening.



Making progress 4 years ago

With help from my other goals of being more patient and compassionate, I’m doing quite well on this one. You need to remember three things:

1) Keep completely silent until the other person is done talking
2) Focus all your attention on wha they’re saying
3) For everything you disagree on with that person, try to find a point where you both agree.

None of these tips are new, and all of them are easier said than done. But if you give it everything you have, success wil come pretty easily.

I still need a few more conversations to really assess my progress. Wish me luck!
