Can you recommend me a method, so that I can constantly remind myself to pay attention to my speech? I'm sure someone already solved this problem (aside from stuttering), but I don't know where to look.

Thanks in advance.
I remember a friend of mine used to draw a couple of lines on the top of his hand which served to remind him to slow down when talking. You could give that a try or perhaps make an association with a face (or mouth, nose, etc.) and the words 'slow down', in order to serve as a constant reminder.
