I organize my life with spreadsheets and it works great. Running Spreadsheet, Health Spreadsheet, Investing Spreadsheet, Gardening Spreadsheet, on and on. :) It's just the best way to examine the data that is your life and have any hope of remembering the past and improve the future.

I’ve kept my finances on a google sheet for well over a decade. And it was old excel before that.

My wife had surgery last summer and had about 10 medications she needed to take immediately afterwards - each of them had their own period so I needed to know what we took, and what was "overdue" at any point in time.

I whipped up a spreadsheet in google sheets and added a google form that allowed me to quickly pick a medication that was just taken - it'd enter it into the sheet and an "overview" page would show me what was pending, with color coding if something was "overdue".

I felt like I was abusing what a spreadsheet was meant for but it worked quite well.

If I knew about Glide I probably could have made it look even nicer.

I think the mobile form factor has something to say about that. I somewhat agree (reluctantly) for desktop usage, but spreadsheets are too complex to be ergonomic with small touch screens.

Yes, so was IBM/360 in text mode but someone wanted to draw nice buttons.
