A “picopause” is a little loving nudge towards simplicity and serenity.
Is there another way to do it? Have you asked anyone else how they do it? Does it actually need to be done?

Being really present means stopping what you are doing and really listening. And not “listening to think about what I’m going to say next”. Really listening, with your full attention. Once the person stops talking, you will figure out what you need to say. Or maybe you can just say nothing. That will probably encourage the other person to say more, which will improve your understanding of them, what they are trying to say, and their perspective.
This is a super power.

I have been doing this consistently for more than four years now. Every day. And for 30 minutes. I highly recommend it.
You would think that sitting still for a certain amount of time every day would be unproductive. If you have never done this consistently, you are in for a surprise after a couple of days. My 30 minutes of quiet time every day is where my brain SLOWS DOWN enough for me to have some really great (creative, innovative, reasonable, inspirational, oblique) ideas. And they seem to come to me without any effort. I would be willing to say that this habit alone has made me several percentage points more productive than I was before. And without actually DOING anything!
Again, highly recommended.
Don’t overthink it. Just sit. Do nothing.
