Yeah, this is actually what prompted me to always have pen and paper (or similar) on hand during meetings. It's a crutch, but I think it's helped me be more organised when talking generally. Even in non-work situations I often make mental notes while listening to others talk about complex subjects (politics for instance). Just bullet-points/headlines so when I start talking I know "okay I've got three things to say: X, Y, Z". It helps me keep track in fast-paced conversations. But again, letting go of some things can be more important than saying everything you want to say.
