Turn remembered wins into generic action-and-outcome notes ready to use in your draft.
Use one remembered win at a time; keep names, confidential details, and combinations of details that could identify people or projects out of every field.
What needed attention? Describe the work in ordinary terms. Fill in: [task, problem, or need].
What did you personally do? Separate your part from the team's work. Fill in: I [specific action I took].
Record an outcome you can honestly support from memory, without adding numbers or claiming an effect you cannot establish. If the result is uncertain, describe what you completed or delivered instead. Fill in: [observed change or completed output].
Keep the substance of the work while making the wording usable outside its original context.
Choose a plain description such as a recurring report, an internal process, a shared document, or a cross-team request. Fill in: [generic description of the work].
Replace internal shorthand with a verb and an object. Keep the useful detail about how you worked. Fill in: [past-tense action] by [method or practical step].
Rewrite the change or output so someone unfamiliar with the work can understand it. Fill in: [generic description of what changed or what was delivered].
Use the action-and-outcome note as your source, then turn it into a self-review sentence.
Fill in: Work: [generic work context]. Action: [clear action]. Outcome: [plain-language outcome].
Use the structure that matches your note. For an observed change: I [clear action] for [generic work context], which [observed outcome]. For a completed output: I [clear action] for [generic work context], delivering [completed output].
