This "resume" includes All The Good Things. That time you successfully mediated a dispute between two co-workers? In it goes. The time you talked a customer into giving your company another chance, despite a major screw up by the company (hopefully someone else's doing!)? In. Even non-work accomplishments can be relevant to getting hired if it shows a skill or characteristic an employer might be interested in.

Why do it?

1 - Patterns. By the time you've entered the third "successfully mediated dispute" of the month, you might start to consider including it on your "real" resume.

2 - Reminders for potential answers to questions before an interview. It's much easier to remember something good you did a year ago if you just reminded yourself of it the night before.

3 - Reminders for you before your interview that you are, in fact, pretty awesome.

Finally, keep it up to date, which should be as simple as: "5/24/26 - Congratulated by my boss on a successful implementation of Project X."
