Keep a Personal Achievement Log
Added 2026-11-03
Record three quantifiable wins a week; year-end reviews stop relying on memory.
I want an achievement log. Design it: 1) how many entries per week and what each contains — action, result, impact, where the evidence lives; 2) how to separate "busy" from "delivered"; 3) three template sentences so it does not become a diary; 4) how to retrieve entries fast for reviews, interviews or a raise; 5) which kind of win I am most likely to forget. Do not turn it into daily journaling.

How to use
成果日志的价值在年底，不在写的那天。
Try tweaking it
- Rewrite each experience as action + result + verifiable number.
- Have it gather the job requirements first, then rewrite against them.
What you should get
- Rewritten bullets: action, result, number
- Likely follow-up questions and how to answer
Common mistakes
- Asking it to "optimise the CV", and every line starts sounding like a template.
- Adding projects you never did — it falls apart in the first interview.
How to check the output
- Each line is action + result + number, and you can defend the details.
- Nothing you did not actually do has been added.
Where it works
- Good for: rewriting experience as action + result + verifiable metric for CVs and interviews.
- Watch out: metrics must be real; AI can phrase them, not invent them.
