How to Shorten Your Argument Hangover

The goal of conflict is not to avoid it. Shorten your argument hangover and then have the awareness and the tools to keep it from escalating to doing damage. Have a lot of time to reflect on where there was meat to the argument, if there was an expectation that came unmet. If you were just talking about a silly fork on the counter, Reflect! It doesn't seem like there's a lot of room for reflection but we all relate to conflict from emotional standpoint.
