More listening uses less time. Yes, it’s true.

How does listening actually save time?

Because a focus on pure listening helps us understand the first time we hear something and avoid misunderstanding that needs to be untangled later. Or again.

Listening more may initially seem to slow down a conversation. Especially when we’re stressed or worried and just want to get it over with. However, listening along with emotional calming skills, we can resist interruptions and unproductive eruptions that use up even more time. A lot more!

It’s true. More listening saves (not wastes) precious time. Not only in conversations but in our relationships and our lives. 

Bonus?  We express valuable messages when we listen.
I care. You matter. We can do this together.
