Yeah, that one doesn’t really work does it…
I am currently swimming through a Never-Ending Story swamp of assessments and feedback, all with a turnaround time of 15 days from assessment to receiving feedback. I also have my own submission to get finished and handed in so I can receive my equally timely feedback.
I am in hell.
Feedback, both the giving and receiving (behave yourself), is incredibly important to me (again, behave . But also true). I hate insufficient, fluffy, non-specific feedback that says exactly nothing and offers no solutions of how to develop. As a result, I take my time with it and make sure it’s done properly, but this means I have zero brain space for anything for about 6 weeks, twice a year. I struggle to string a sentence together, I send voice notes to friends and family to avoid having to type anything, I struggle to read for fun and resort to rotting on the couch rewatching boxsets I’ve long since completed (currently battering through The Sopranos. Ralphie got off’d today. Happiness).
Bring on July when I don’t have to use my brain in any way other than the way I want to for a hot minute.
