WOOHOO! Congratulations, Elizabeth!! I'm excited for you.

My suggestion is to make a note of everything you do. I personally use workflowy.com which is a browser-based outliner tool. I simply enter the date and day of the week, and then leave that browser window open all day. Every time I do something, I make a note of it. At the end of the day, I transfer the To Do items to tomorrow's list, and collapse today.

At the end of the week, I open up all 5 of the days and read through everything I did that week.

It takes no time to enter things.

It takes 5 minutes to review at the end of the week.

But the FEELING OF ACCOMPLISHMENT I get from it is incredibly invigorating.

I've complained on Hubski a lot about how "easy" my job is, and how "little" I do, and how I feel like I might be a free-loader and not worth my salary... so I always feel like I am on the edge of being fired.

When I started doing this SUPER simple logging process, I suddenly realized how much I do, how important it is to the company and my co-workers, and have learned to properly value myself, my skills, and the role I play at my company.

So that's my suggestion. Keep a daily log of everything you do. Just for yourself. It helped me a lot.

Good idea! I was already thinking of tracking my time on toggl, but i'll try to make my entries more detailed to reflect what you're saying here.
