I definitely try to work on my listening every day, though I would say at best it’s been a mixed bag ha. Just something I’m always having to work on.

I like the “does it need to be said by me right now?” test a lot when I can actually remember to apply it in the moment. I forgot where I learned it but somebody basically put it like this: Before you say anything, ask yourself 3 questions

1. Does it need to be said?

2. Does it need to be said by me?

3. Does it need to be said by me right now?

You work your way down the list one at a time and if the answer is still yes by the time you hit 3, then go ahead.
