Dear Nekoshema:

You are welcome.

Several replies back I wrote to you that you cognitively multi task, remember? I wrote that your thoughts are all over the place (at times at least), too many details, too many people in your posts, difficult to follow. It fits with what you wrote above, that you “start chatting and it comes back to bite me”.

Too much information, too many details, the listener gets confused, or misunderstands what you say, not a good thing. So talking less, waiting for the listener’s response before saying more, sticking to one topic instead of addressing multiple topics at any one time, filtering yourself – an excellent resolution for the new year. It will improve your professional life and your personal life.

Happy New Year and looking forward to read from you anytime (you can practice talking, or more accurately typing less, sticking to one topic, filtering yourself right here in your thread!).
