          But it is helping effectively.

          It’s less efficient to learn how to do something than to have somebody who knows how do it for you, but it’s more effective to learn for yourself. Hard won knowledge is rarely lost.

            Time management is different for everyone, and when you’re on a deadline, or just dealing with a one-off situation, the extra research has no value.

            Sometimes you don’t need to know how the clock works, you just need to know what time it is.

              I totally agree. There are exceptions to every rule, but random people on the internet who you aren’t being paid to solve the problem for by a very large majority would benefit more from education than having their problem solved for them.

              Teach a man to fish and all that.
