How I use Notion to help combat my impostor syndrome

I still have an impostor syndrome, but I've found ways of reducing it at least a bit. I do so by recording these elements in a sort of journal:

1. Key achievements: milestones I've reached, big tasks finished, challenges mastered

2. Positive feedbacks: stories and testimonials of people that say how my work had value for them

I track these things in Notion. I then use it in two ways:

Resurfacing positive things in my daily routine

Every day in my routine pages I see the key achievements from yesterday, a week ago, a month ago and a year ago.

Review positive feedbacks when in a down

When I'm down I go back to the positive feedback page and just read until I realize that I'm on a good path.
