I just handed in my "what I did this past year" thing for tenure and promotion (but for me, it's still an 'off year' - I already have tenure and it's not time yet to apply for Full Professor).
I think the fact that I no longer feel like I want to throw up after handing one of these in is an improvement.
(Seriously: I used to - in the pre-tenure and immediately post-tenure days - have to do it at the VERY END OF THE DAY and hand it in and then go home and watch lots of cartoons or something to scrub the sinking feeling that I hadn't done ENOUGH in the past year out of my head.
Of course, it helps to be able to claim that you presented at an "international" (and heck, it is - if there are speakers from South Africa, and Thailand, and Denmark, and who knows where else, even if it's held on the soil of my own country, that counts as "international" in my book) conference this past year.)
(And I just realized - while doing Regular Vita Maintenance - that one of my papers is available online. Kind of cool.)
