How do you actually track your learning? (7-min anonymous research)

I'm running a small independent study on how people plan and track their learning — the honest, messy reality: half-dead Notion trackers, bookmark hoards, abandoned spreadsheets, "I'll just remember where I was."

If you've taught yourself a skill in the last year, I'd love ~7 minutes of your honesty. Anonymous, no signup, every question optional:

If you mentor a team or teach a cohort instead, there's a version for you:

Mentors & team leads → https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSelnFbM4yZJTewQtAqKjsj7Fgztyt0sKBQLVmxSAg3065di-A/viewform

No product pitch — this is problem research. Honest answers, including "tracking doesn't bother me at all," are the most valuable kind. If there's interest, I'll share aggregate findings back here in a follow-up post.

Thank you! 🙏
