What is the purpose of your 'thing' ?
Is it a get together with folk who know you or a presentation in front of an unknown audience ?

@Abood3033 Then plan it out. Revise it. Write the entire thing down in longhand. Edit it. Practice reading it aloud and time yourself as you do. Make notes on the paper (pause here) (show diagram 1 here) (add humorous aside here) kinda thing.

Get confident in recognizing the points you want to make and ♦️Bullet ♦️point ♦️them.
Try and reduce that to the size of a postcard and you're a winner !!!
