When people seek advice from me

When people seek advice from me, I often encounter individuals who overwhelm me with excessive context and chaos.
Here’s a tip that I have started applying myself when I seek advice:
Share only the specific problem you’re facing in simple terms.

By doing so, you allow the advisor to focus on solving the core issue with you. Suddenly, the advisor’s brain becomes engaged in solving the key component of the puzzle, rather than wasting time deciphering your incomplete and chaotic problem context. Your solution or context would only be relevant if it serves as an input to the equation, and usually, the advisor will explicitly ask for it when needed.
