Do you have trouble listening? Do you find the person you are talking to you boring? Painful? Irritating? Do you feel the need to increase your respect for your audience?
Your mind tells you the task at hand is critical, but your heart tugs you elsewhere: are you tired of battling yourself and getting distracted and thereby not getting enough done? Do you think multitasking is a virtue and when you look back, you find that you have not accomplished as much as you could have?
Stop the mind from straying. If the mind strays, it is going to the past or the future. Gently bring it back to the present. The present is all that matters.
Do not let technology come in the way (pager, phone etc.).
Calm the mind so it stays in the here and now. Do not generate non-existent fears. Trying to anticipate all that can happen is not productive, unless you are in a genuine planning session.
