Your Ears Are Too Fast

Have you ever found your mind wandering when someone else is talking? No, you’re not weird, and you’re not rude.

Most people speak at about 120 words per minute. However, most people can listen at a rate about 3-4 times faster than that. Your mind is likely to fill in the gaps by thinking of other things. Your awareness of this can help you to SLOW DOWN your ears. Force yourself to stay focused so that you can really comprehend everything the speaker is saying. It takes a little extra effort, but you will find you are receiving the message much more clearly.
