It might help you to think about levels of abstraction rather than speed of thought. Learn to walk up and down an abstraction tree of your thoughts. Quick for me in this context looks like high level conversation without details, so learn to keep things high level, and think in three branches maximum of the first level of that tree. Also find common context, usually this is where I find conversations get lost, sometimes listening and gathering the other person context is way more important that stress yourself to be quick. And just be honest, people appreciate that too. So my "quick" thinking reply to you, are these three branches of a tree that could go wider and deeper but I would start the conversation like this. - Think about abstraction levels rather than speed, one level deep and three branches wide. - Listen to gather common context and fill your gaps. - Be honest
