I have now become hyper-aware of how often I use that phrase

Are there any phrases that people have told you you overuse or are characteristic of how you talk?

    Just editing out the hemming-and-hawing might be tricky. Unfortunately I digress too. “I think it’s like a scene in Logan’s Run where they meet the old man… mmm… That was a real 1970s movie even though it came out in the 198—… Hmm… It *did come out in 70s. Why did I think 80s? What movie was I thinking of?.. erm… Logan’s Run but not Logan’s Run… But maybe the old man scene was a different movie altogether?”

    I prefer the net. When I tell my Logan’s Run story - it’s concise, smooth, and I’ve fixed all the details because I googled if needed. If I did a one-man podcast and I was my own editor I would drive myself crazy.
