Ahrens highlights the importance of feedback loops in both learning and writing. Seeking timely and concrete feedback is crucial for improvement and growth. Practices such as reading with a pen in hand, rewriting ideas in one's own words, and regularly reviewing and connecting notes help identify and correct misunderstandings, refine ideas, and enhance one's ability to express thoughts clearly. 'Feedback loops are not only crucial for the dynamics of motivation, but also the key element to any learning process,' Ahrens explains.
