Template Best Practices
Update Weekly
Set a recurring 15-minute calendar event every Friday to add your weekly wins. Don't let accomplishments slip through the cracks.
Be Specific
Replace "worked on the project" with "led implementation of payment system processing $2M monthly." Numbers make your accomplishments memorable.
Save Feedback Immediately
When you receive positive feedback in Slack, email, or meetings, add it to your document right away. It takes 30 seconds now but is impossible to reconstruct later.
Review Quarterly
Every quarter, review your weekly wins and consolidate into the main sections. Identify themes and your biggest accomplishments.
Keep It Accessible
Store your brag document somewhere you can quickly access it. A document you can't find is a document you won't update.
