I came across this concept called "The jar of awesome" which on first glance seems really naive but I really took a liking to it. It's basically just writing down your victories when they happen and storing them somewhere in a tangible way. A collection of notes, post its, anything, but it has to be physical and it has to be stored. That way it feels "real", and its a great reminder of the small victories we tend to forget

I tried a similar thing at work several years ago, before "scrum" took hold everywhere. I kept my to-do list as a stack of post-it notes, and when they were done, I'd ball them up and throw them into a decorative glass mug someone left in my office.

"Update ownership on parser tests." "Get M3 feature list from Dan." "Finish code coverage slide deck." "Call dentist." "Buy quicklime and duct tape." "Investigate ia64 hang." "Finish mid-year discussions."
