Capture Wins Immediately
- Create an email folder and a private document or phone note titled consistently to capture wins and positive feedback as they arrive.
- Schedule a recurring calendar block (weekly or monthly) to update these places so you actually maintain the record.
Make Updating Nonnegotiable
- Use your calendar to remind you to update your wins folder during your weekly planning or a protected monthly 30-minute block.
- Adjust cadence to what you'll actually protect so the task becomes habitual instead of perpetually postponed.
Write Succinct Statement + Three Examples
- When writing a self-eval, open with a succinct statement and support it with three specific bullet examples for each claim.
- Pull those examples from your wins folder so reviewers can recall the exact impact and people involved.
