To solve your problem you’ll have to ask “why” or “how”. Which one should you?
Formulate your problem with a “how” only if you already know its root cause(s)
Formulating your problem with a “how” is attractive because it forces you, right from the start, to think about potential solutions: you are dedicating yourself to finding the various ways in which you can solve it. Soon, you’ll decide which one is the best, implement it, and give yourself a pat on the back.
The problem is that much of your effort can be misplaced thinking “how” if you don’t know the root cause of your problem.
