It is often said that time is money; even if you disagree with this, you surely feel that time is an important asset. Regardless of whether someone believes time to be money or leisure or fun, one thing remains constant: time is important. And even though figuring out "how to keep conversations short" might seem like a funny thing to look at, it is also apparent to most people that there are some conversations they would rather end quickly. Regardless of whether these conversations end up occurring with a neighbor, a coworker, or a stranger, you will find that you have more time if you learn how to keep these conversations short.

Be polite: Summoning every ounce of politeness you can muster is the best thing you can do when aiming to end a conversation quickly. If you try to end a conversation in a rude or abrupt manner, you may actually end up finding that the conversation drags on even longer! If, on the other hand, you are polite and friendly, it becomes much easier to graciously end the conversation, as your counterpart can leave the conversation feeling fulfilled.

Recognize what people want to talk about: Of course, conversation is supposed to be a back-and-forth exchange between two people, but most people actually only want to talk about one thing: their own self. If you are trying to keep a conversation short, turn every question they ask you back to them; the sooner they tell you all the things they want to tell you, the sooner they will feel all right exiting the conversation!

Know how to graciously finish: The toughest part of keeping conversations short is often the closing, as people try to make excuses that usually sound like exactly that: excuses. Instead, the best way to end a conversation is to simply end it; tell the person that it was great talking to them, and tell them you look forward to catching up with them again at some point in the future.

You will not only be able to keep conversations short when you need to if you follow these tips, but you will also keep the conversations short in such a way that the other person leave the conversation feeling fulfilled!
