Example: "Want to get lunch? I was thinking it'd be a good time to take a break."

Example: "I fixed the bug. You might want to check the fix."

Trying to develop a little habit where, when I say a thing, I then immediately follow it up mentally with: "The reason I say that is because..." And then I try to complete that sentence out loud. It feels like it'd be redundant, but it's almost never!
