We live in a busy world, and sometimes people can get their wheels spinning in a direction that they don’t even want to be going.
Asking “What difference will that make?” is a great way to halt the spinning and help the person look at the goal with a sharper frame of focus. Activity for its own sake is not always a good thing. This question can help people get at the “why” behind the action.
Give it a try and see how it helps with clarity.
