Instead of measuring your day by what’s left undone, what if you kept track of what you actually did? Valerie shares how this practice helped her interrupt burnout, why women in accounting are especially prone to dismissing their own wins, and how sharing those moments with others can change the culture of your firm. Although a Ta-Da list isn’t a cure-all, it is an effective tool that can shift how you end your day, how you see your work, and how you show up for each other. Because the little things? They're actually the big things.\n\nResources\nConnect with Valerie on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerieheckman/\nOnPay - https://onpay.com/about-us/author/valerie-heckman/\nGretchen Rubin “Happier” podcast - https://gretchenrubin.com/podcasts/\nLynnette Oss Connell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynnette-oss-connell-cpa/\nValerie Heckman at Scaling New Heights 2024 - https://report.woodard.com/articles/scaling-new-heights-2024-day-2-recap-snhwr\nKatie Helle on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mkatiehelle/\nNancy Jacobson on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancyjacobsoncpa/\nDuoLingo accounting friends - https://www.duolingo.com/profile/KristenKea6\nhttps://www.duolingo.com/profile/000752.beemH9GF\nhttps://www.duolingo.com/profile/NayoCarterGray\nGold star chart for adults - https://www.etsy.com/listing/4310943720/adult-star-chart-printable-habit-tracker\n“The Art of Blessing the Day” © 1999 by Marge Piercy - https://www.randomhouse.com/knopf/authors/piercy/poem.html\nSome scientific studies on how the Ta-Da list can be helpful for mental health:\n“Gratitude Enhances Health, Brings Happiness — and May Even Lengthen Lives,” Harvard Health - https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/gratitude-enhances-health-brings-happiness-and-may-even-lengthen-lives-202409113071\nSavoring in Positive Psychology: 21 Tools...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/vUt3h6Kg39bjmsEUTNXEs3eqikbtl3hfW6QNuZ-7mdM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81N2Ez/M2ZjNGZkODY5Y2Jm/OWMwZTU0ZTY4MDY4/YjIzMS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
