How can i learn to say what i want to in that moment instead of thinking what i should have said latter on?

Question

like certain situations at work, i dont know, i guess im not fast enough of a thinker ..like my boss will say something and ill be like ok sure yeah.. only moments later im like i should have said this and that instead of just saying ok..can you learn to think faster?

Answer 1

only through experience. When you've had something said to you 100 times and you start to EXPECT it, you will have replies ready.

Answer 2

it's probably not that you have to think faster, but answer slower. Especially at work, we feel the need to answer quickly, sometimes without taking the time to thoroughly think things through. Give yourself a few seconds before answering. I learned to do this because i would notice in meetings the smartest people almost always hesitated a bit before speaking. Resist the urge to blurt out an answer-it works!
