I keep a Google Doc where I note down wins as they happen. When I started doing it a few years ago something I realized was how much I would forget if I hadn't noted it down. That material has come in very handy when trying to negotiate for a raise, I can point to things I did that were productive.

I’m the most forgetful. I always write things down. So, I’m surprised as to why it took me so long to start doing this. Even when I just get a phone call from someone, I’m ready to take notes because I know I’ll forget.
That's a great idea. I would encourage you to periodically back it up to something a little bit more stable so you don't lose it in case of a outlook outage or something like that. I like to have mine in a couple of places just in case. I do something similar, it's a good way to take pride in my own accomplishments.
Absolutely! Thank you for sharing this great idea 😊
can you give an example of how you would present it?

I’ve started to email my boss weekly updates on things I’ve completed in the previous week and what I’m working on. The tracking list will be added to my performance review - these are done quarterly.
I started doing this when I was revamping my resume, highly recommend it whether you are job searching or not. It’s great for keeping track of metrics and numbers that I will inevitably forget about when the time comes to discuss them.

Yes it’s much easier to compile the list as you go.
