A weekly progress report has literally changed the way I look at the work I get done. I used to berate myself all the time for not getting anything accomplished, but once I started writing everything down--even the small steps--I've realized that I'm a lot more accomplished than I give myself credit for. @Natalia Maldonado You’re welcome!

I've been having to do a lot of those "little" things lately that don't feel like they're adding up to a lot yet. Researching for articles I'm working on, sending out proposals to clients, going to networking events. These aren't the kinds of things we get instant gratification from, but writing them down reminds me that I have in fact been working even though the results aren't showing in an obvious way. Thanks for a great post! This is a great idea, and such great timing for me. I’ve been having to do a lot of those “little” things lately that don’t feel like they’re adding up to a lot yet.

I too often feel like I'm not getting anything done, when in reality, I'm sure I'm getting quite a bit accomplished. I've said before too: Remember not to brush off all the things during the day you take for granted. For example, this week at work has just been really, really hectic and I've had to stay late to finish projects almost every night. By the time I get home, I have time to make a healthy dinner, clean-up and then maybe an hour of down-time to savor before it's time to go to bed and do it all over again. So even though I'm definitely not getting much accomplished on my goals, I have remind myself that I'm giving 100% at my job, still eating healthy, keeping the home tidy, spending time with Mr. Man, and getting proper sleep. Ah, it already looks like a lot! I love this idea — I think it’s something that will help me a lot.
