The Right Time to Ask “What Is This For?”

I’m taking a sabbatical from writing new blog posts. You’ll be seeing some re-runs and old favorites for the next little while. You can always write me back with suggestions or ideas just by responding to this email!

The right time to ask “what is this for?*” is—

when you’re creating something new

when you need to pivot

before you speak in a charged or high-stakes atmosphere

when you are planning an event for other people

when you are planning something for yourself

when circumstances have changed and you need a new plan

when it matters
