Most of our readers said they track their goals manually on a piece of paper (52%) while 16% said they use a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet. Another 16% of the MOU audience reported that they don’t track their goals.

Other results include:

  • Using a mobile app — 5%

  • White board
  • Microsoft Word and Excel documents
  • I remember them.
