Get rid of the word "so"

I've been recording myself speaking English to recognize my biggest mistakes. Thus, I've noticed that I've been using a lot "so".

And today... what a great coincidence! I came across the article "Get Rid of the Word “So” to Increase Your Credibility" , that came in handy. As a non-native speaker, the overusing of the word "so" may have a different reason for me. However, these tips are also very useful to those who are learning English as a second language. I also suggest that you check this out : How Can I Avoid Filler Words Like "Um" When I Talk?
