Ineffective Listening Habits
1. Deciding in advance that the subject is uninteresting
– Poor listeners learn what the talk is about and decide immediately that the subject is of no interest to them. Instead of listening they think of something else, write meaningless things on their notepad etc.

Ineffective Listening Habits
3. Becoming overexcited and anxious to make your own point
– Poor listeners want to run ahead of the conversation. Especially if it is a subject that they have some knowledge, their minds race ahead to plan their own sentences.

Ineffective Listening Habits
5. A tendency to outline everything
– Poor listeners tend to outline lectures or speeches. However if these talks are not well organized by the speaker, when later reviewed, these notes provide little insight to what was said
