The quality of my encounters goes up, and I end more in tune with the other person, my own state of mind, and the nuances of the interaction. I find that resisting the urge to “jump in” before someone finishes their thought is the challenge. @Andrew

It's amazing how infrequently we do this because we usually have our own two cents' worth to contribute. The other person says something and it triggers a response, so a lot of times we end up interrupting, and their train of thought is gone. Doing this exercise--more than once--would probably help reinforce the pattern of NOT interjecting whatever thought comes into our head, that relates to what is being said.
