interrupt less; listen more

finish people sentances. under the guise (i just learned how to spell that word) of agreeing or showing interest. i tend to jump in and say what they are saying or going to say. i have consciously held my tongue a few times. not too hard if i think about it.
i have also not told the same stories on a subject that i always tell. i listen and decide if my little anecdote is really relevant. if it is, i do tell. if not, i shut up.

i have practiced this a little off and on. it is really about me being very aware of how im conversing.

and right after i do, i mentally kick myself. i like listening to people. i think in my effort to help/share/collaborate/bond i jump in too fast. i think this could combine with my simplify goal and add to an overall slowing down and enjoying the moment.

what to do to lessen my interruping? uhhh… i gotta think about that one.
