Thank you all so much!!! I was staring at a blank sheet unsure where to start. So many great examples and useful column ideas I hadn’t thought of. Now it’s just data entry. Then it’s compare/contrast shopping, woo-hoo!

To the right on that image I also have:

- Tricks learned on that yoyo
- String description (in use)
- Pad description (in use)
- A list of all strings used on that yoyo
- Counterweight weight observations
- List of damage
- Date purchased
- Where purchased.

FWIW, when I started mine, I just added 2-3 yoyos to the sheet everytime I purchased one.

That reduced the burden and allowed me to grow the sheet’s columns more organically.

It’s also very important to have yoyo location! If you don’t know where a yoyo is, then it becomes quite difficult to link the sheet to the physical world and vice versa.

I use mildly descriptive labels (BMpp1 = Bi-Metal Purple lower weights, HP2 = Hybrid plastic heavier weights etc…). I use [medium parts organizers](https://www.containerstore.com/s/parts-organizers/d?q=parts%20organizer&productId=10008702) (I think I have about 40 of them now?). They fit 18 normally sized yoyos plus a good amount of accessories.

Nah. I have a lot of yoyos and that’s one of about 4 I don’t like 🙂

Now that senpai…

Oh, I forgot to mention that there’s a tab which will pick a throw for me based on how recently it was thrown, when the string was changed, how much I like it etc…

So I don’t have to think about the day’s throw, I just check my spreadsheet and it picks me something fresh that I haven’t thrown in a while, occasionally picking something I love instead 🙂

Amazing, loving the bins! I’m just at the start of this journey so luckily I think everything fits on one page for now. Then it’s just keeping it up.

I was just thinking about basic name, specs, stock vs used parts. Purchase history, tricks, Location (already have dupes in a box) and some others going in.

Can’t wait until I have enough to have the sheet pick for me!
