I ask because I like to think about the HOW of how things are done. I think it’s a strength of mine (feels like play to me, but like work to others).
But whenever I ask others about their opinion on HOW to do X / tell others that I want to do X more efficiently, they say something like: “There aren’t any tricks.” / “There aren’t any shortcuts.” / “You just have to put in the work.”
Can you give a concrete and detailed (anonymized) example of this? As presented, it feels like the people you’re talking to aren’t saying something very useful, but I only have your side of the conversation so it might be helpful for us to understand in a bit more detail what was actually going on.
Thank you for taking the time to respond :-) When you posted this, it actually made me go back over the examples I was thinking of and I realised there could be different interpretations instead of just the one where the other person was frowning upon me asking the question. Perhaps, it was just that they didn’t know of the answer and were uncertain in what i was asking
The example was actually in a podcast recording where I was interviewing an entrepreneur about leadership, so you can listen to the snippet of the conversation if you want :D https://sndup.net/9t8m
