The Wall Street Journal just told everyone to start keeping a brag doc to guard against layoffs and AI taking your job. And it’s good advice. No one’s keeping track of how awesome you are. You have to do that for yourself.
And you’ll need those receipts for any kind of performance or promotion discussion at your current job or your next job. Now the journal recommends logging wins as they happen in a spreadsheet, and maybe you’ve tried that. But the reality is you’re too busy doing the work to make this a habit and making that habit stick. So let me show you how you can automate this in Steady because after all, since Steady is a coordination platform, it’s captured your accomplishments, especially as they relate to moving the needle with your team.
So here you can see we have an Echo preset called personal progress. It automatically pulls your accomplishments, completed goals, and shipped work, and summarizes it into this nice highlight reel. So with zero effort, I have receipts of my achievements delivered to my inbox week after week after week because the journal’s right. You need a brag doc.
They just didn’t mention you can automate it.
