What do you mean by getting people to implicitly commit to finish the conversation? Do you just ask them explicitly to spend the time with you? I’m confused by the word “implicit.” Intuitively that seems a great way to reach a productive point of the conversation, since it forces both of you to seek resolution so that you can go do your laundry after.
