What should I keep in my log?

Your brag document should tell a story, not just list actions. When adding a log:

  • Explain the context and your specific role

  • Describe the broader significance of the work

  • Include measurable outcomes (e.g., "Improved test performance by 300%")

  • Don't overlook "fuzzy" work like process improvements or mentorship

A brag document isn't just for performance reviews. Use it as a personal development tool:

  • Identify themes in your work - tagging is a great way to spot these.

  • Reflect on what projects you're most proud of

  • Understand your professional growth and skill development

  • Plan future learning and career goals

Pro Tips

  • Be honest and factual about your achievements

  • Include both technical and soft skills

  • Consider tracking accomplishments outside of work
