Give someone your full attention

Five minutes of undivided attention, given to one person, on purpose.

How to do it

  1. Choose one person you will see or speak to today.

  2. Put everything else down, including the thing in your hand.

  3. Ask them one question about their day and let the answer run long.

  4. Do not offer advice unless they ask for it.

Attention is what people register. They rarely remember the advice.
