Freedom From Spreadsheets

How much personal stuff do you track with spreadsheets? Does all that tracking take the fun out of your free time?

It’s not just you – in her blog, Vicariously Yours, Sarah Layden talks about her years of recording all the books that she read. “I tallied my reading habits on nerdalicious spreadsheets, sharing and comparing with my readerly friends.”

But now, she’s given up that tracking habit, and reads without logging all the details. You can find her story here: Spreadsheet No More! A tale of liberation.

That “Sad Animals” book looks familiar – I’ve read something like that a few hundred times in the past. But usually I stick to the technical books, and those aren’t too interesting to track anyway.
