Request feedback on your work
Ask for useful feedback by being specific about what you want reviewed and by when.
When to use it
Use when you want someone to review your work. Specific asks get specific, useful feedback; vague ones get silence.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Asking "any feedback?" with no focus, which is hard to answer.
- Not giving a deadline, so the review slides indefinitely.
- Requesting a full review when you only need a gut check on one thing.
