Finding the answers to What, When, & Where

by | Saturday, October 14, 2017

Three important questions that we often seek answers for are:

  1. WHAT is it?
  2. WHEN should we do it?
  3. WHERE should it happen?

Turns out these questions can be answered just by replacing just one letter—namely replace “W” with “T.” Here they are:

  1. That
  2. Then
  3. There

Simple.

Here is a visual representation of the same idea that I created while at a meeting the other day.
