You have a better chance of getting useful feedback if you ask specific questions. What kind of feedback do you want? A quick read for structure? Or do you want detailed comments? Is the argument OK? Highlight a paragraph or a page you want to discuss.

Productivity is overrated. What counts most is the quality of output, not the quantity. People may be impressed by the volume you produce, but impact depends on the value you create. Success is not about getting more things done. It's about doing more worthwhile things well.
