Productivity coach Judy Dang reveals how keeping a physical or digital “smile file” can keep you confident. It reminds you of the good feelings you have brought about in others and the positive impact you’re making. 

What is a smile file? A collection of thank yous, compliments, notes, achievements, testimonials – anything that makes you feel good about what you’re doing and reminds you why you’re doing it. 

It’s easy to forget about your unique skills and characteristics. A smile file is great to look at to remind you of what makes you so great. It can boost confidence while helping you keep out self-doubt and combat imposter syndrome. 

Create your own smile file and see how good it feels to watch it grow.
