Absolutely not, I try not to worry about my speech that much because I find that obsessing over it just makes everything worse, worse speech, confidence and worse self esteem. I notice there are periods in which I’m more fluent than others, and that is almost always not a regular path. If it’s too bad or if I’m having issues with an specific element (eg. blocks) I try to find ways through it, but that’s all. Tracking it would just make me more anxious and aware of my speech, which makes it worse.
