If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?
I had to give up one word I use regularly, it’d be “just.” I lean on it too often to soften statements or hedge—like saying “I’m just checking in” or “It’s just a thought.” It’s a crutch that dilutes clarity and confidence. Ditching it would force me to communicate more directly and own my words.
What word would you drop?
