How it works
Three habits. A running record of your work. Always ready when it matters.
Most professionals do good work and lose track of it. Nela gives you a system built around three simple habits: capture what happens, reflect each week, walk into your 1:1s prepared.
Step 01
Set your direction
When you sign up
Nela asks three things: your job title, where you want your career to go, and what you're currently measured on. This takes two minutes. It gives every capture that follows a frame of reference.
Step 02
Capture when something happens
During the week, when something worth remembering occurs
Open Nela and write a short capture. One field: "What happened?" No title, no formatting. Just what happened. Two optional checkboxes let you flag it further: "This is evidence worth keeping visible" pins it and counts it in your Sunday Reflection as Evidence. "Bring this up with my manager" sends it to your Meetings section as an open item, where it stays until you close it with outcome notes. Hit Save capture and move on.
Step 03
Reflect on Sunday
Every Sunday - and Monday morning before 11am
Your weekly review window opens. Your captures from that week are already there. Nela generates a short neutral summary of what happened. Your two goals are visible at the top as a reminder of what you're working toward. Read the summary, glance at past reflections if you need them, then write your own reflection in your own words. If it was a quiet week, skip it. The window closes Monday at 11am - missed weeks are marked automatically.
Step 04
Walk into your 1:1 prepared
Before your next 1:1
Open Meetings. You'll see every item you flagged for your manager, still open, with space to add outcome notes and close them off. Past meeting notes sit below, alongside recently closed items and their outcomes. No scrambling. No "I forgot to mention." Just the list of what's actually open between you and your manager.
Step 05
Your record, ready for review

After a few months of captures and reflections, Nela will generate a monthly summary from your running record - a neutral, evidence-based account of what you did and how it maps to your goals. When performance review season arrives, the groundwork is already done.
