I know one of us nerds has built a spreadsheet

You just blew my mind!

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 (I think I have about 40 of them now?). They fit 18 normally sized yoyos plus a good amount of accessories.

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 :slight_smile:

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!
