On my work computer, I currently have 26 spreadsheets on my desktop alone. I usually generate anywhere between 10 and 30 more sheets daily. All part of the job.

On my laptop, though, I only have 1 sheet. I used it to track my poker winnings. It has some pretty slick calculations from a pivot table, too.

10. Driving Offender Log - Things that go wrong on the road.

I've got many queries I've made, along with many reports, such as a yearly report, monthly, quarterly, and daily report. Along with a nice, handy-dandy form.

I'm just as bad. I even have an MS Outlook reminder that triggers me to organize and update my spreadsheets accordingly. You should see my Day Planner. Pretty sure I have "organizational OCD".

If you play online, go and get poker tracker. It is absolutely priceless. It not only tracks winnings, but how you play each and every hand, for example it will tell you how you played pocket aces all 12 times you were dealt it, how much you made or lost each time, etc. It also tracks the play of each player on the table you are at. So if you show up to a table and recognize someone, you can look him up in the database and see how aggressive, tight, loose, etc he is. It starts to bog down after about 10,000 hands though. I have about 4 databases full of info on my desktop.

I ended my online poker career. I did look into Poker Tracker and a few other programs. They are quite impressive, however I never felt the need to use such in depth programs. I played SNG tournaments for the most part. The ability to get a read on your opponent in the first 10 hands was the most critical part of the game. Just like they all say, you don't play your cards, you play your opponents.

I turned $50 into $5000. That's good enough for me. Here's my Excel chart. It's none too impressive from a statistical standpoint... but it was good enough to clear a bunch o' money.

The black part of the graph was my net winnings, the green was my bankroll at the time.

Manual, I want to help, I really do. Put the log book of offenses away and start collecting dingle berrys. You know, the little turd knots that attach themselves to your butt hair. After you have at least three months worth, you can run your reports on size, shape, color, and stickiness. Make sure you have three months...or your reports will be statistically worthless. You can then post the results under the number 10, as Dingle Berry Log. The upside to this new log will result in this forum seeing you as more normal

PS The excess "handy dandy" forms can be used as a collecting agent for the dingle berrys.

5. Money Owed - Misc. and recurring debts
6. My future - The next 7 months of my life's bills/expenses planned out
7. pws - my passwords/logins
8. ROI - Return on Investment worksheet
9. Wants - Things I want, how much I have to work to get them, and connected to the ROI worksheet.

Not too crazy. As others said, organization is key! However, I have a big ole budget spreadsheet that spans each calender year, and covers your numbers 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8. That helps keep the clutter down. Also, multiple pages within a single excel file helps too.

I only started my Fuel Tracking spreadsheet at the start of '08, so it doesn't have alot in it yet. I've got it broken down to give you days b/t fillups, total miles, miles b/t fillups, gallons in, cost/gallon, total cost/fillup, cost/mile, cost/day, miles/gal, etc... Good stuff.

Attworth, this is simply another manifestation of your OCD. What else do you do, besides this and your obsession with detailing your truck, that's also OCD?

I sometimes shave two times to make sure I'm extra smooth for the lady.

When I do laundry I break the piles into categories and wash accordingly (I think that's pretty normal.) When I had my own kitchen it was spotless, and when I went to the lady's house I would clean her's spotless. That and bathrooms. I can't stand a dirty bathroom. It drives me insane.

When we had a boat I would spend hours making sure it was buttoned down and cleaned and all my skiing gear was properly stowed and neat.
