Delegating

Yesterday, I got in an argument with Keith at work, in which neither of us convinced the other.

Today, when he came in, he told me that, feeling unsatisfied, he had gone home and started the argument with someone else. And this person had come around to his way of seeing things. He felt better.

I'm thinking of applying this strategy to lots of things in my life. For example, when I try to teach one of my students about intransitive verbs, and they don't learn it, I'm going to go teach it to another student. Or if Dan doesn't like it when I don't scoop out the cat box, I'll go to Suzanne's house and not scoop the cat box, and she'll be fine with it.

Probably.
