Lesson 2 of 6 · Two things that look identical from outside
The one sentence
Notice, do not fight. Nothing here asks you to stop asking anybody anything.
The move
Telling the two apart
5 minutes or less
- Ask: did I go looking for this question, or did it arrive?
- Ask: would an answer settle it, or would I need to check the answer afterwards?
- Ask: does it come back in the same words, at the same times?
- Arrived, needs rechecking, and repeats in the same words is the symptom pattern. Went looking, would settle, and moves on is a question.
If it does not work
If it is both, and it often is, treat the part that repeats as the symptom and take the genuine question to somebody in daylight, once, on a day when it is quiet.
Write the one sentence
A specific plan works better than a good intention. Fill both halves in your own words.
When
I will
