15 Jun 2007 Thought of the Day #5: Talking faster than you think.
I've started to noticed that sometimes my mouth tends to start talking before my mind has a chance to process what I actually want to say. It gets to the point where I'm correcting myself midway through my sentance. Out loud. To myself. In front of the person I'm talking to.
For example one such conversation...
"No you can't do that action this way because... Well actually maybe you could do that. All you need to do is... but wait, you still need to consider... yeah... no... yeah but no but yeah but..."
I can't be getting senile in my old age. I'm not even 25 yet.
Another thing I find annoying is thinking about something so fast that when you try to react to it by doing something you've forgotten what it was you thought about.
For example:
Me: Wow, that a great website. I should go to it right away.
Opens up a web browser and highlights address bar
Me: Right... What was it I wanted to look at again?
Mentally struggles to try and remember the web address
I think I should start writing everything I do down on paper.
