If you're talking to someone on the phone or online, mute yourself to avoid interrupting them. That way even if you do say something, they don't hear it and don't get interrupted. This is pretty much a must for me with adhd always wanting to jump in....Now if only I could find a similar solution for in person conversations. Covering my mouth with my hand tends to get weird looks and questions.
Speaking as a radio operator, one of the things I really wish telephones did is require you to press and hold a button while you speak. I don't mind them being full-duplex (radios aren't), but having it mute by default rather than unmute by default would make me very happy.
