We’re always seeking something in our work. And the rough part is that we often seek it before the actual work.
If it’s before, then it’s reassurance we’re after.
This is why so many writer’s don’t actually publish, ideators don’t actually invent, and artists don’t actually ship their work.
No reassurance = no work.
Feedback on the other hand is different. Feedback requires one to create something and share it. Feedback can be used to improve something (whereas reassurance doesn’t do anything to the end product).
It’s worth checking if you’re seeking out reassurance or feedback throughout the day.
