My Resume Is Total Fiction
So I disagree with this advice, because I think there is an effect that talking about something feels as good as if you've done it.  I prefer to keep an accomplishment totally stealth - not write it down or mention it to anyone - until it's more than done.  And then understate it, casually let it out of the bag.<p>This is how Apple did products in their heydey.  Did Steve Jobs list all the things the nonexistent iPhone did, and then selectively publish a version that wasn't false?<p>No.  He kept his fucking mouth shut and pushed ahead toward a vision.
