Pseudo Listening

Pseudo listening is the common listening part of my communication. I am a pseudo listener because when I am in class or with friends, most of the time I will be listening to them but my mind is set at something else. For example, sometimes I will be in class but my mind will be set to think about the plans for the evening. I will be thinking about homework and prioritizing which homework to do first. Every time I do this I tend to lack in the class I am sitting in. Therefore, I am trying to make a plan to overcome this situation. I am going to buy a daily planner and plan everything out in the daily planner. Instead of me thinking about my plans and homework in class, I would note them down in the diary as soon as they hit my mind. In this way, I will be able to concentrate in class and be able to focus on my other homework and plans also.

  1. Hey there! I have to agree with your post and can’t help but laugh at the fact that I do the EXACT SAME THING! When I am in class and know I have an eventful evening that same night, or have a lot to catch up on, I often find myself wandering off into space. I do have to say that I came up with the same plan as you to buy a planner and actually use it this semester instead of letting it sit around on my desk at home; it really does help me prioritize my homework schedule, work schedule, and social life. Being orderly in that sense really unloads pressure and eliminates stress in times where we need to pay the most attention—in class or in conversation.
