I'm Jocelyn K. Gly, and this is Hurry Slowly, a podcast about pacing yourself,

where I explore how you can avoid burnout, improve your productivity, and activate your creative mind,

all through the simple act of slowing down. A little housekeeping before we dive into this

episode. First of all, this is the last episode of Season 1 of Hurry Slowly. And after I take a

break for the summer, I will be back with a brand new season this October. If you need a fix

in the meantime, please feel free to dig into the back catalog.

There are 20 plus hours of content in season one, and I'm going to pop some links to a few of my

favorite episodes into the show notes.

My second note is that part of the reason that I'm taking a break is to give myself more

time to build out

an exciting new project. It's a coaching program called Reset. For those of you who want to go

deeper, Reset will be like a proactive companion to this podcast, an interactive online coaching

program that will show you how to set ambitious creative goals

and then pace yourself to achieve them.

And I'm going to be teaching it in a really fun dynamic format that's designed to be a lot more engaging

than your typical run-of-the-mill online course.

Reset will be launching in January of next year, so stay tuned for more on that.

Now, onto today's show. Lately, I've been thinking a lot about feedback. It's a term that comes

up pretty often these days, and I feel like we tend to think of it as an unadulterated good,

even though it has also become a sort of catch-all for many different types of commentary.

Feedback could be a critique, feedback could be a compliment, or feedback could be a piece of

advice. But we frequently don't make a distinction about what type of feedback we're offering.
