I model a benevolent planner who motivates a time-inconsistent agent by only committing to provide feedback. The optimal feedback mechanism always takes the simple form of recommending an action. I also provide conditions for when the optimal feedback mechanism takes the simple form of a cutoff. I show that providing incentives through feedback always makes the time-inconsistent agent unambiguously better off, a property that does not necessarily hold when monetary instruments are used.
