Track your accomplishments at work so you’re always equipped to speak about them. Visit https://garfinkleexecutivecoaching.com to hire Joel for his executive coaching services. Why do you need to track your accomplishments at work? It will help you to always stay prepared for these situations: • Your next performance review. • The need to update your resume to apply for a higher-level position. • Impromptu run-ins with senior management. • Regular check-ins with your boss at work. Track your accomplishments at work by writing them down each week. Spend just 10 minutes doing this, reviewing your week and jotting them down. Scan through your emails, action items, and to-do lists to jog your memory. You’ll probably have two or three key items each week. Write those key items down in your log for quick reference. Because it takes 21 days for something to become a habit, you need to be intentional about setting yourself up for success. Choose a specific time for reviewing your achievements at the end of each week. Give yourself a reminder like an alarm that goes off when it’s time to begin. Commit to and prioritize this time—it shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes. When you need to prepare for your performance review or update your resume, you’ll then have a list of all the important projects and tasks you’ve done. Also, in those “just-in-time” situations—seeing an executive on the elevator; having your boss drop in and ask about your projects—you’ll be prepared to speak articulately about what you’ve been doing each day in your work. Tracking your accomplishments at workwill also give you a huge confidence boost, reminding you of the full value you bring. You can scan over your log of accomplishments whenever you need a refresher on what you’ve achieved, or on a monthly basis. When your boss or other leaders give you specific feedback about what you’ve accomplished, jot it down. That way, you’ll remember those details in the important moments when you need to mention them. Jot them down right away so you won’t forget them.
