If you’re doing a good job at work, keep a record. Office productivity site Slacker Manager suggests keeping a “yay-me!” file: The basic idea is simple: you just keep a file of good stuff you do. When you figure out some trick new process that saves hours per week, you make a note about (don’t forget to datestamp it) and drop it in the yay-me file.

Second, you’re storing up good karma for your annual (or otherwise) evaluation. Do you have a “yay-me” file? Share how you’ve used it in the comments. Yay-me! file [Slacker Manager]
