7-Day Listening Journal
Seven-day listening journal
One critical barrier to 'paying attention' is a lack of time. When someone calls me early in the morning and I am in a rush to get ready, I am often guilty of not paying attention to the person who is speaking. This morning, someone called me when I was still foggy and in the process of waking up. Only after finishing the conversation and agreeing to meet the person for coffee at 4pm did I remember that I had another engagement at that time. I had been agreeing to everything the speaker was saying, just to get off of the phone and get into the shower. This required me to call the person back and explain my error. Regarding the nonverbal component of this communication, one problem with phone calls is that there is often little personal investment in a call. It is easy to be distracted and to tune out what the other person is saying when nonverbal behaviors that indicate non-listening (like doing other activities or a vacant stare) cannot be seen by the other party.
Day 2
When I was ordering my coffee, I noticed that the server taking my order seemed to be very distracted. She was talking to the other server behind the counter and laughing. There was also a great deal of background noise from the coffee machine and other patrons. To make sure that she heard my order I engaged in...
She seemed annoyed, based upon the tone of her voice, but I did receive the correct order.
Day 3
Taking notes in a college classroom requires a great deal of reflective behavior on the part of the student. Reflective behavior requires the listener to paraphrase what he or she hears. Of course, in the classroom, I cannot reflect aloud and ask a professor to paraphrase every single statement that is made. But internally, I find that I am more engaged with a lecture when I force myself to silently paraphrase to myself what I think the teacher is articulating.
Day 4
I think that the principle of 'withholding judgment' is perhaps the most difficult concept for me to embrace. When having a political argument with someone, like I did today, it is very difficult to truly listen to what the other person is saying in a truly objective fashion. I try to be objective, of course, but this objectivity is often hard-won. It is very easy for a political argument to deteriorate into name-calling, even between friends. Personal bias can impede listening. I noticed that when I spoke, the person with whom I was arguing did not directly respond to my contentions, but instead seemed to talk 'around' me or attacked people (their character or personal habits) rather than the issues…

This is the goal of struggling readers. A dependent reader takes only a peripheral interest in the text. He gives it the minimum of his attention and approaches it only because he is forced. It is as though he is reading against his will and fighting all the way. Beers provides an anticipation guide, but I don't necessarily agree that such a guide is very constructive or helpful. It deals
Preconceived notions or biases are signs of poor listening. The life coach cannot project personal values onto the client's words and expect to be listening well. A good listener also does not jump to conclusions or finish the client's sentences. Instead, the life coach erases all preconceived notions and listens with a fresh mind. The life coach also does not interject judgment or opinion, especially when none was solicited. Judgment
