Pro tip: keep a running list of all the (sometimes seemingly small) things you do at work. Maybe once a week you’ll add something to it. Come performance review time—assuming it happens twice a year—you’ll have 26 bulleted things you can point to and demonstrate your impact.

Particularly for designers/engineers who worry about not being able to show visuals, or have something “shipped,” it’s really hard to think back to all the important work you’ve done. But coming to agreements, moving things forward, or even stopping things shipping is impactful.

Another tip: track your investments. Small pieces of work you did 6–12 months ago might now have an amplified effect. Remember to point back to that work and remind people of your foresight in making it happen.

ALSO, that list you make? Give a version of it to people you want feedback from. If _you_ can’t remember what you did 5 months ago, chances are your coworker can’t either. Remind them, and get constructive feedback on that work.
