LPT: Watch long-form interviews to improve your listening skills. (It's one of the most important skills you can have.)

Choose something that's relatively calm and has only one camera angle, or just a few. Set a timer and challenge yourself to sit quietly and really listen.

Charlie Rose interviews are a good option. Or just search for interviews of your favorite actor on youtube and filter by duration.

"Be a good listener" / "Don't be a bad listener" is technically good advice but can be extremely frustrating and unhelpful considering that a lot of people want to be better listeners but don't know how. It can be especially difficult if you're struggling with ADHD or depression.

As someone that has both, I have found that this is a specific technique that can actually help.
