Since kindergarten, I have been in the doghouse for talking to much. Wrote "I will not talk in class" sentences thousands of times in elementary school. Sometimes it helps me, sometimes it hurts me. My goal is to stick to more meaningful and purposeful conversations. The kind that encourage people or serve a useful purpose. And for my H--no repetition and less confusion. I have been working on this and improving but have a long way to go. According to this article:
Think Before You Speak
you should think this before speaking:
1. Do you actually have something to say?
2. Consider your audience.
3. Consider your purpose.
4. Are you being specific?
5. Think about the words you choose.
6. Are you making an assumption?
7. Are you aware of your body language and tone of voice.

I definitely need to follow these tips more consistently. Does anyone else at PC struggle in any of these areas?
