What platform can I use to educate myself on the UC timeline story as a whole without missing out on any important plot points but also in the shortest amount of time? I don't really feel like sitting through all of the anime series chronologically, nor do I really have the time for that

Why would you want to know the story if you don't want to watch the shows? Go away.

Here's a timeline with point form explanations.

You can filter by series or year.

Clearly you can't read

Good, you shouldn't. Watch them in production order instead, and skip the movies where applicable.Seriously though, why would you want to educate yourself about the shows but not watch the shows? Unless you're some kind of armchair faggot who just wants to sound like he knows what he's talking about.

Absolutely this.
OP, if you're going to educate yourself, do it right and watch the shows. I'm barely starting on it myself, as I got through 0079 a little while ago and am right now a little over halfway through Zeta. I watched other Gundam works here and there, but I'm taking the time to go through it now.
Do yourself a favor and don't be a gay, if you're really a mecha fan go watch the shows.
And yes, watch them in production order, not chronologically.

I hope I browsed /m/ before I got into Gundam. I made the mistake of watching them chronologically. What's done is done.

Then don't. The only way to know about UC is being a man and watching it. And even though I watched all UC anime I still feel like I barely scratched the surface, but I'm not man enough to get into novels and manga.

gotta get that gedum certification

Watch the 0079 movies and then watch the Zeta movies. Everything after that's non-cannon. Enjoy!

Are you a writer for ANN or something?
All you need to do is watch SEED and SEED Destiny, OP. They're a remaster of the Universal Century canon.
