Here's a way to "cheat" your way out of this problem. Write it down. Whenever you find yourself explaining the same thing several times, either to a single person or to several people, just put down the argument in a short memo, word doc, email, powerpoint, whatever. Send it to the last person who needed it, or just save it somewhere. Next time you're asked you can just send them the writeup. I have the same problem as you. The underlying condition is that often times I'm just too lazy to write down what I have in mind. But being lazy results in more effort in the end. Don't be lazy like me.
