The author makes several great points about why it's beneficial to document your accomplishments. I've been following a similar approach for the last few years using Sublime and the PlainTasks[0] plugin to break apart projects and tasks into individual items and mark them with a timestamp when finished. I'll move the completed tasks into a new quarterly archive section to keep things clean every so often, and those sections end up providing most if not all of the information I need for self-evaluations and manager discussions while entirely amortized over the course of the year. Sure you could do something similar with Jira though I personally find Sublime to be far less overwhelming for the task, though I will usually pair the larger entries with a jira ID so there's a link back to that additional context. 0 - https://github.com/aziz/PlainTasks https://github.com/aziz/PlainTasks
