The full question
My two cents
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:
Key achievements: milestones I've reached, big tasks finished, challenges mastered
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:
Resurface: Every day in my routine pages I see the key achievements from yesterday, a week ago, a month ago and a year ago.
A screenshot showing how my key achievements of the past automatically resurface in my morning routine document in notion.
Positive bomb: 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.
