How do you track the progress of show you watch? (lemmy.ml)

I'm mainly talking about anime shows but you can talk about overall all shows if you want to and this will be valid too. I'm looking for answers to the following questions:

•What do you use for tracking progress of shows you watch?

•What are the pros and cons of how you're tracking your shows, and is it worth it to be tracking shows this way? (If you're using a site for tracking, then mention the pros and cons of it with the name of the site)

Note: You can include more of your opinion and experience besides the questions' answers if you want to

I only watch stuff that's done. I hate neverending stuff like the millionth episode of One Piece or such shit. I don't like waiting on new episodes to arrive.

So when I watch something, I download it, and watch it. If I don't remember in my mind where I'm at exactly, I just open an episode and see if I recognize it. If I don't, I go back in the series, if I do, I go forward, until I'm at the episode that I haven't watched yet.

Most of the time, I just know where I'm at. If I don't, it takes like 30 sec max to find the place I'm in, less than the time it would take to enter my "watched" status on any service.

I can't really think of any cons or why I would use anything else. All those services are just wasted time/effort to me.
