Being a bad communicator trying to improve I've been quite reflective about this For me I think it comes from my background as a software developer. When working at a task, the first thing I aim for is identify the most complex problem and build a trace of solution for that - it gives me a fair estimate for the task size to take all the complexity upfront, and makes it easier to delegate part of the details if I need a hand to keep a deadline later on. When someone comes with a question, my brain is hardwire from 20 years of practice to go deep, trace a solution, and build on top of it. The result is that there's hardly any linearity in the speech. Details get added out of order, preconditions get explored as needed by the core issue, and in general everything emerges based on the need of the argument to have a solid structure and not the need of the listener to follow up to the solution and of course if you take a total approach then it's hard to stay on topic. Now as I said I've tried to get better but it's been hard beyond recognizing how one own thought process work.
