The single-most effective way to invest 90 seconds a day is simple (and difficult).
18 times a day, when youโre about to offer advice, ask a question or blurt out a response, wait five seconds.
That pause shifts the way what you say next will be perceived.
It also opens the door for you to discover what was about to be said, which might be the most important thing you havenโt heard.
Buzzer management is essential for some activities. But 18 times a day, a pause might be exactly whatโs needed instead.
PS Yesterdayโs post had a link that caused a warning for some folks. Iโm sorry. There was a bug in the software I use, and Iโm hopeful they fix it soon. The warning was needless, but it still perplexed some folks. My apologies.
