When did learning become baggage?
At some point, learning stopped being help
and started becoming something employees carry.
Another course.
Another platform.
Another reminder to “please complete.”
Packed carefully.
Tracked diligently.
Forgotten precisely when it matters.
That’s not learning.
That’s cognitive clutter.
We’ve designed learning systems that are excellent at proving activity —
green dashboards, full catalogs, perfect completion rates —
but strangely absent when real work begins.
A difficult conversation.
A compliance judgement call.
A customer escalation.
A moment where hesitation is expensive.
In those moments, nobody thinks,
“I’m glad I finished that module.”
They think,
“What do I do now?”
Good learning should reduce cognitive load, not add to it.
It should feel less like carrying a crate of groceries
and more like instinct kicking in.
At Edufic, we don’t measure learning by how much people consume.
We measure it by how little they need to think
when pressure is high.
We remove before we add.
We design before we deploy.
We build learning for reality, not reporting.
Because if learning requires searching,
scrolling,
or remembering —
it won’t survive real work.
Learning shouldn’t be baggage.
It should be support.
And if your learning looks impressive
but feels heavy,
you don’t have a motivation problem.
You have a design problem.
