I do weekly status reports and send them to my contracting company, boss, boss's boss, and a couple of other random bosses who have some reason to want to know what I am doing.
The format is very simple: Accomplishments, Plans for Next Week, and then I put any "Challenges" (if there are any) and requested time off.
My consulting company raves about them but I don't think my bosses here on site read them. However, I use them to review my week on Friday, see how I did on my goals, and set my goals on Monday.

Whistler: Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are.
