Summary

Recently, Kim said something to me that sort of hit me like a ton of bricks… “I can’t always tell when you’re listening to me.” We wrote a whole book on marriage communication called Everybody Fights with a section on active communication and magic words you can say for conversations that require extra care and attention. But the problem is that I learned how to cheat them.

So I am working on new strategies for my ADHD brain not to space out - and I've got some tips. For whatever reason, truly listening takes a lot of effort for someone like me with ADHD. But I am trying to get better.

0:22.7	So just to back up, every week, we usually have a bus driver.
0:27.4	And then we have a passenger.
0:28.6	Yes, I am firmly in the back seat.
0:31.4	No, you're Keanu.
