Rubberducking
By way of a post by Maggi Dawn, linking to an article on how to survive in meetings if you’re not the fastest of talkers, I think I may need to stop using my colleagues as a sounding board and invest in a Rubber Duck (or maybe, because I’m a programmer, use a Teddy Bear). It may be obvious, but “it’s the talking that matters. Explaining your problem out loud is often enough to shake things loose in your brain, expose bad assumptions, and cause you to see things in a new way”.
