Critique Your Approach to Feedback on Your Work

You get notes on your work and you either bristle or cave, neither of which helps. This walks through how you typically respond to criticism: fast or slow, out loud or in your head, with changes or with a defence. Good for anyone who suspects their reaction to feedback is costing them more than the feedback itself.

<context>
You receive feedback on your work but are not sure whether you are using it well. You either dismiss it too quickly or take it too personally, and neither is serving you.

<task>
1. Describe how you typically respond when you receive critical feedback: immediately or after time, verbally or internally, with changes or with explanation
2. Ask whether your responses to feedback are calibrated to the quality of the feedback or to how it makes you feel
3. Identify whether you have a pattern of discounting feedback from certain sources without properly examining it
4. Suggest one change to your feedback-processing habit that would help you extract more signal from the same inputs
