Receipts — the Review-Season System

Can't remember what you did at work this year? Receipts is a self-review system in Google Sheets with a phone form. Google Sheets, not Excel.

Your self-review is due. You know you did good work, but the details are gone, and writing about yourself feels awkward. Most trackers assume you logged your wins all year. Receipts starts where most people are: a blank page and a deadline.

WHAT IT DOES

1. Rebuild your year. A 90-minute guided search of your own calendar, sent mail, chats, files and tickets, in six 15-minute blocks. Empty months light up, so you know where to look next.

2. Map your proof. Paste your company's skills and rating scale. A color heat map shows where your proof is strong, thin or missing, in your company's own words.

3. Draft your self-review. Pick your review questions. Receipts puts your strongest points first and builds a first draft from your own lines. If your form has a character limit, the draft stops at it. Then you rewrite it in your own voice.

After review season, keep it going: log a win from your phone in about 30 seconds.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Google Sheets system, 11 tabs. You get your own private copy.
• Mission Control start screen: your next step, your progress and a countdown to your review deadline.
• Phone form (free Google Forms). Log a win in about 30 seconds.
• Year Rebuild: 6 search blocks, with words to search for your role.
• Quantify: 6 small calculators that turn hard-to-measure work into careful numbers. They always round down.
• Map: a heat map of your proof by skill and month, with a "fill the gap" tip for thin spots.
• Calibrate: check if your self-rating matches your proof.
• Draft: a first draft for each review question, with a live character counter. Includes the Limit Ruler to find your form's limit.
• One-Pager: a one-page summary for your manager (prints on one Letter page; A4 with Fit to width).
• Meeting: talking points, two asks and a recap email.
• 6-month mode for mid-year reviews.
• 3 filled examples: marketing coordinator, software engineer, operations admin (all fictional).
• Start Here PDF (2 pages) and a printable workbook PDF (10 pages, US Letter).
• Free v1.x updates. Updates come as a fresh copy; move your rows over in a few minutes.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Copy (on a computer): Start Here PDF → "Copy my Receipts".

2. Set up, 10 min: your skills, rating scale and review questions. Form on your phone.

3. Rebuild, 90 min: six 15-minute blocks, one line per win.

4. Draft, day 2: fill thin spots on the Map, then make the draft yours.

WHAT YOU NEED

• A free personal Google account.
• A computer for setup and drafting. Phone for logging.
• This is not an Excel, Numbers or Notion file.
• Some work devices block Google Sheets.
• Receipts doesn't connect to your company's review tool.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS

Your copy lives in your own Google Drive. I can't see it. No add-ons, no scripts, no sign-up. A built-in privacy check flags email addresses, dollar amounts, phone numbers and any client or project names you add to your private-words list, so they stay out of your draft until you clear them. Please follow your employer's rules about work information.

WHO IT'S NOT FOR

• Managers writing reviews for their team. This is for the person being reviewed.
• HR teams looking for company review forms.
• People who want a tool to write their review for them. You write in your own words; Receipts organizes your proof.
• Anyone who needs an Excel file.

FAQ

Can I use it on my phone?

My work laptop blocks Google. What can I do?

Use your own device, if your employer allows it. Or use the printable workbook.

Does it write my review for me?
