How do I stay focused and present while chatting?

Short answer: Slow down. Take your time. Let the conversation breathe -- this is not social media.

Unlike fast scrolls, wa4u works best when you write and read slowly. Try these small habits:

  • Breathe before replying so your thoughts can land.
  • Write in phrases, not punchlines. You are not being judged for grammar.
  • Use pauses. The coach will wait.
  • If you get distracted, type "pause" or "summarize" -- the system will help you reground.

Presence turns a chat into reflection. The more you let your mind catch up with your words, the deeper the insight.
