Sometimes we find it difficult to organize our ideas before expressing them, and when this happens we may not be able to communicate or deliver the message effectively. We can get stuck, say one thing meaning another, change the place of words in sentences or succumb before bad translation. All that is related to several causes, included but not limited to:
- a hurried reply
- connecting to a new set of ideas or a new conversation
- getting obsessed with one single way to express things
- not having second thoughts on what we say
- overstructuring
- oversimplifying
