They wish they documented their career accomplishments & accolades.

But...It's never too late to start!

Create a "Career Management Doc" -->
update it consistently & often

4 years ago, I started writing a letter to my future self on my birthday. It's the most powerful form of journaling that I do.

•Open and read 1 letter every 5 years

•No meetings on Fri & first half of Mon
•Stack as many meetings on Tue & Wed
