Here are five tips on how to become a better listener with an explanation for why each tip will help achieve your goal. The response is formatted in a bullet-point list:

- Look at the person who's talking. It's hard to listen if you are answering a text message, browsing the internet, or otherwise engaged in another activity. Give the speaker your undivided attention and make an effort to look at them in order to focus your mind and your ears on what they are telling you so that you can commit their words to your long-term memory. 
- Visualize what the speaker is saying. It may help you to create mental images that connect to what the speaker is talking about. This visual association can assist you in remembering keywords and phrases from their speech so that you can ultimately retain more of what they said. 
- Keep an open mind. It's a fact of life that people will say things that you don't agree with, but it's important to keep an open mind and reserve judgment until they're finished speaking. When you make a snap judgment, you compromise your ability to listen to the entirety of what they're saying. If your goal is to become a better listener, you are best served to wait until someone is finished talking before analyzing how your views line up with theirs.
- Don't interrupt. There's a distinct difference between listening and simply waiting to talk. If you want to become a better listener, you have to give the speaker the ability to fully communicate their thoughts at their own pace without disrupting their train of thought.  
- Ask clarifying questions. Once the speaker is done talking, you want to make sure that you fully understand their thoughts. A great way to accomplish that is to ask them to clarify anything that didn't quite make sense to you or that you would like to understand in more depth. By asking them clarifying questions, you will help yourself both retain and understand what they've said to you.

I hope that these tips help you become a better listener. Please let me know if I can be of more assistance.
