I've also been guilty of this for a long time. I annoy myself, and fear I undermine my credibility when talking to peers and managers. > I think that when I'm speaking, I want to say words faster than my brain can build a sentence. This is the explanation I've thought of for myself many times. What I find helps is to practice mindfulness and try to listen to what I'm saying. I recall at one job, the companies core systems database tables had really absurdly long names. I made a point of learning these names precisely. People would look at me in amazement when I would precisely rattled off the names during meetings and technical discussions. Oddly, this really helped.
