Length Balancing

One of the most important attributes of a question is its length, and the reason why is simple: The length of a question is directly connected to how much time a helper needs to spend answering it. This lesson teaches you:

  • Why questions that are too short are bad
  • Why questions that are too long are bad
  • What to do if your question seems too short
  • What to do if your question seems too long
  • What a healthy question length is, demonstrated with a real-world example
  • A tactic you can use to keep the length of your question in-check while still including a lot of important context
