🪞 Reflect

Take a moment to think back on everything you’ve achieved this year as a remote worker. What projects did you complete? Did you learn something new or contribute to your team in a unique way? What moments made you feel proud? 

💡 Concept

Sometimes, we move so quickly from one task to the next that we forget to recognize our own accomplishments.

Here are a few ways for you to acknowledge and celebrate all you’ve done this year:

✨ Keep a personal accomplishments log.
Create a digital or physical space where you can note your achievements each week, no matter how small. Did you solve a tricky problem, help a colleague, or learn a new skill? Write it down. Having a list to look back on can boost your confidence and remind you of your progress.

🎉 Share wins with your team.
If you’re part of a remote team, sharing milestones with your coworkers can create a sense of camaraderie and foster positive morale. Whether you’ve successfully launched a project, completed a challenging task, or achieved a personal work goal, let your team know in meetings, chat channels, or email updates. Not only will this bring a sense of recognition, but it encourages others to celebrate their wins, too.

🏆 Reward yourself.
Remote work can blur the boundaries between your professional and personal life, so it’s especially important to create moments of reward. Did you hit a major milestone? Treat yourself—whether by ordering from your favorite restaurant, taking a day off to recharge, or gifting yourself something meaningful. Small rewards create positive reinforcement and give you something to look forward to.

🎬 Take Action

It’s been quite the year—try these steps to celebrate your accomplishments:

1. Add your achievements to a personal log or journal so you can review them anytime.

2. Share a win with your team in your next meeting or through a group message.

3. Plan a small reward for yourself to celebrate your hard work and dedication.

Celebrating your successes helps build motivation and reminds you of your growth and impact—even from a distance!
