About How Tos
I’ve used How Tos for several years to help pass along getting started information as well as solutions for common problems and even advanced skills. I think How Tos are also a great way to turn insight into action. When I read a great book with lots of insights, one of the first things I do is make it actionable by creating step-by-step How Tos based on the book..
