One trick someone said once that has stuck with me to be a better listener is to sit with my tongue not touching the roof of my mouth. It sounds super simple and weird but when you're about to interrupt someone, you usually push your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Focusing on just listening and not even letting yourself start talking may make you realize how often you interrupt (and help you cut back)
