The July sitting of Tynwald will experiment with a new format that will see a time cap put on politician's speeches.
It's after members passed a motion put forward by the bishop.
Bishop Robert Paterson said the idea came to him following a long debate in Tynwald on the topic of bin wagons.
Members will have a limit of 20 minutes for a statement, 15 minutes for a motion, 10 to put forward an amendment and just five minutes to respond to a supplementary question.
The motion wasn't without its detractors - with South Douglas MHK Kate Beecroft branding the experiment badly timed:
Yacht club worries over lifeboat retirement
One nuisance cyclist ticketed in more than three years
New ministerial post created by chief minister
Huge floating book fair to arrive in Douglas next month
Stay safe for Hop Tu Naa tonight
Special Olympics fundraiser needs you
Peel ready for bonfire and fireworks later
Government: "UK never told us about child murderer"
