Take note of things you think you are learning along the way — both technical and non-technical skills and competencies. ## Evaluate your ongoing learning journey Different people find different tools helpful for reflecting on their learning journey and development as a creator. Some creators find that keeping a regular journal or blog works well for recording and reflecting on their practice. Others prefer regular conversations with peers or a mentor to help them more deeply evaluate their growth journey. And there are other approaches too — you can explore what works for you as you progress through this learning pathway. ## 6.
