Done List Practice
The Done List Practice involves tracking what you've accomplished rather than (or in addition to) tracking what you need to do. This shift in focus from pending to completed work provides psychological benefits, creates a record of contributions, and helps maintain motivation.
Traditional to-do lists show what's left undone (often growing faster than you complete items). Done lists show what you've achieved, creating visible progress and positive reinforcement.
Positive Reinforcement: Looking at completed work feels better than staring at pending tasks
Visible Progress: Accomplishments accumulate visibly over time
Motivation Boost: Seeing what you've done energizes you for what's next
Reduced Overwhelm: Focus on progress made, not just work remaining

Align categories with:
"I didn't accomplish anything": You did more than you think; track small wins
"I forget to track": Set phone reminder, link to shutdown ritual
"Feels like bragging": This is for you, not public (unless you choose to share)
"Takes too much time": Start with 3 bullets daily, 3 minutes max
"Nothing seems significant": Small progress compounds; all work counts
Done list practice is working when:
Accomplishment tracking is called a "secret weapon" because:
