If I were to write everything down, I would most likely use a mind map instead of a flat list.
To me, keeping track of my skills doesn't make much sense as I'm constantly expanding my skillset from one end, but due to lack of use, the skillset is shrinking from the other. I guess the only thing that does increase over time is the number of skills you're good at in a given moment. This might be a personal issue as my memory is really subpar and acquiring new knowledge is really difficult — I have to keep practising, practising, practising constantly to keep my mind sharp.
Come to think of it, keeping a written record might actually be helpful to internalize everything I've acquired so far :)
