I belong to
several writing forums
where I have
deliberately fixed my settings
as read-only.
I can read the posts
and threads
but I can’t comment,
can’t post new questions.
This forces me
to read,
to listen,
to absorb.
I’m not worried
about my response.
I’m not forming a reply
while I’m reading the post.
I’m focused
100%
on absorbing the information.
I do this with webinars.
I deliberately deactivate
the ask questions feature.
This helps me
remain present.
Experiment.
Take away
your ability to respond.
Does it increase
your learning?
