Ideas can curb your interrupting.

控制自己而不去打断别人

Be the best listener in the room: When you get the itch to interrupt, change the focus to the speaker and transform into the best listener in the room.

做全办公室最好的倾听者：当你心痒痒地想打断别人时，把你的注意力转移到发言者的身上，并且成为全办公室最好的倾听者。

Nod along, maintain eye contact, and lean into the speaker to show you're listening. This encourages the brain to connect with your auditory skills instead of brainstorming.

在发言人讲话时不断点头，保持与发言人的眼神交流，并且身体斜向他，以此来表明你在认真听他讲话，这会使你的大脑调用听觉而不是进行头脑风暴。
