FINALLY got my pull list organized after 3 years of chaos

I used to just grab whatever looked cool on Wednesdays, but id end up with random issues and no clue what I was reading. Last month I made a simple spreadsheet with series, issue number, and release date. Turns out I was missing like 15 issues across 4 different runs I was actually following. Now I just check the sheet before I go to the shop and I'm not wasting money on stuff I don't need anymore. Has anyone else had luck with a specific app or system for tracking pulls?

Ugh the 15 missing issues thing hurts, been there.

Used to think digital was fine until @the_susan broke down the hunt. Changed my mind.

Oh it's the worst feeling. That pit in your stomach when you realize the numbering is way off and you've got a full reading order scramble ahead. The worst part is when you're hunting down those specific issues and they're either overpriced or just gone. Sometimes I wonder if comic shops even check their back issue bins properly before selling them. And don't get me started on the ones that were supposed to be double shipped but just vanished from the schedule. Honestly it makes me appreciate digital backups even if I prefer physical copies.
