That kind of self-reflection is something I'm struggling with right now.
I'll start doing things, forget I accomplished them, realize I'm halfway into the month and then panic profusely when I don't remember what exactly I've done.
For example, starting this January I have been working on my front-end and design skills, since I feel weak in that area. I looked for relevant books, got through several ("Design of everyday things", "About Face", "HTML&CSS" by Jon Duckett, and finishing up "CSS Secrets" by Lea Verou), created some very neat things in pure CSS, and I'm getting better at it by the day.
Objectively speaking, I've gotten through a lot of things in the last 3 weeks, but it doesn't feel that way. My intuition tells me, quite unhealthily, that I got nothing done. I think the list of accomplishments I'm keeping is the only thing that keeps me sane against the overzealous (and scatterbrained) project manager that lives in my head.
I worries me a bit.
