I track the following:

Revenues.
Earnings.
Performance.
Competitors' Performance.
Industry Trends.
Employee Sentiment.
Hours Allocated vs Hours Utilized.
Calories.
Macros.
Lifts.

I'm sure there are a few others but those are the main KPI's I track.

If this is a troll, it's brilliant.

I track tons of stuff. I track every workout, and special notes about each movement. I use a journal to track my goals, monitor my progress and look back on how I've developed. In my head, I track my overall happiness level and if I'm keeping my ego in check. Many men (myself included) have used the OYS threads to track their progress in SMV/career/frame etc and keep themselves accountable.

Noticing a trend?

Everyone is shitting on you because everything you track is about YOUR WIFE.

This shit isn’t about your wife. Your wife is not a thermometer that tells you how hot it is.

Check my post history - I’ve been through this multiple times. I’ve posted recently about what I track and why.

TL,DR: track leading indicators that are about you getting better, not lagging indicators about your wife’s reaction to you.

Maximus_Valerius · 2019-03-11T20:53:17+00:00

I track all those same metrics. However, because I'm now the Captain, I've delegated the tracking and reporting functions to my wife (aka The Home Officer of Technology or "THOT"). As a female, RP teaches that she's better at predictive analytics and data modeling than I am. As a male, I'm better a data visualization and collating unstructured data. I created an smart phone app that gives me real-time remote user access to the cloud, so I can verify her progress while at work. We review her periodic reports just before our scheduled once-weekly sex time. Needless to say, it turns her panties into a virtual "data lake."

I track how many gay spreadsheet posts there are

Cloudy_Pirate · 2019-03-11T19:27:47+00:00

Nice job. You have the Dancing Monkey Routine down to a measurable science.

How my wife views me matters to me almost as much as how I see myself.

I use the above to see if I have my shit together, in her eyes

I can see how you might want to do this. I also have my own autistic tendencies. However, it's counterproductive. It puts your focus on your wife, when your focus needs to be you. Here's what you need to track:

Are you happy with your relationship?

If yes, great. If no, you either need to 1) work on yourself more or 2) find a new woman. Or both. That's really the extent of how much you should be thinking about this.

Fuck me I'm so moist right now.

MrChad_Thundercock · 2019-03-11T18:53:16+00:00

I track how many times your wife sucks my dick.

Does Chad need a spreadsheet?

You really need to grow out of this man. You’re 51.

You are the Prize. Not her.

framelessglasses · 2019-03-11T19:30:41+00:00

Please write another FR when you present your findings to your wife.

If your wife wants to write an FR about it, we might even make a exception for her.

ChokingDownRP · 2019-03-11T20:49:38+00:00

This is absolutely ridiculous OP.

When I started MRP, I tracked her cycle and # of times we had sex. After 3-4 months, I had learned all I needed to know and scrapped following it.

A few questions about your spreadsheet:

Don't you have better shit to do?
If she discovers that you are tracking all of this, how desperate and pathetic will you look-being so preoccupied with her vagina?

If you're not trolling us, scrap the spreadsheet and re-allocate the time you save to reading the sidebar...you're clearly doing it wrong.

Whiteliesmatter1 · 2019-03-11T23:59:05+00:00

I track everything that is important to me. I keep professional diaries, workout diaries, sex diaries, and whatever else comes up for a period of time I Feel is worth documenting.

Some people find tracking sex is pathetic. Some people here are saying track the leading indicators, not the lagging indicators like sex. But if you don’t track the sex how will you know if your leading indicators are working. I don’t know about you but I can’t remember what I ate and if I had sex or not a week in the future. If it helps you discover a relationship between what work you do and what results you see, do it. You are a big boy, you can figure out what is worth tracking to you and what isn’t worth it to you. Nobody else can answer that for you.

I bought a house recently, and I discovered that sex frequency cut I half after we moved in. Called my wife out on it. She tried to gaslight and said, no you are crazy we have just as much sex. I said no we don’t because we track it. She said, “that’s pathetic” I knew she would say that. I said, well I knew you would try to gaslight me when this happened, but that doesn’t work when I track it, and I considered that you would find it pathetic and I still decided to track it because I track most things I care about improving. You can think it is pathetic if you want, but the point is, I am not satisfied with the amount of sex I am having. I am not angry or upset with you, I am just not prepared to live a life without a thriving sex life. If we don’t get this sex life on track, I will get it elsewhere. I would rather have sex with you, but I am not at all prepared to have duty sex or infrequent sex. That isn’t the life I want to live. Then she said, but all my friends don’t have sex with their partners! And I said, I am not really interested in what kind of sex other people are having, I only know what I am willing to put up with and what I am not.

She understood. I wasn’t whiny, I wasn’t aggressive, I wasn’t pleading, I didn’t let her (predictable) tactics derail my message. Was it a sexy convo? Nope, and i didn’t use it to negotiate sex either. I wasn’t in the mood at the time. But i knew it had come to that point, and I wouldn’t have known for sure it had gotten to that point. But if you don’t have guiding boundaries, you end up being a boiling frog. Like my wife’s friends are apparently.

But yes, tracking sex isn’t sexy, and she will find it pathetic. But if you find it helpful, who cares what she thinks. Are you doing this for her, or are you doing it for yourself?

I use the above to see if I have my shit together, in her eyes.

Since you are familiar with Excel, setup Conditional Formatting for proper color coding. As soon as your metrics drop even a little bit into the orange area start doing more chores to brighten your wife's mood. Happy wife happy life am I right?

red-sfpplus · 2019-03-11T19:30:56+00:00

I track progress via naked selfies in the mirror.

Dont forget to take one from behind. That is the important one.

Check out your wives phone. I bet she has some of my pics on there.

Maximus_Valerius · 2019-03-12T00:54:52+00:00

One risk associated with tracking outcomes that you have limited control over is that you may start to develop attachments to those outcomes. You also may start developing new covert contracts.

These attachments and covert contracts can result in suffering if the goal (over which you had little or no control over in the first place) is not achieved. This is the opposite of outcome independence (OI).

LongRoad_518 · 2019-03-11T18:39:02+00:00

To keep track of how my wife sees me consciously and subconsciously

Why the fuck do you care how she sees you? Christ man, you've learned nothing from TRP.

becoming_alpha · 2019-03-11T22:42:58+00:00

I track workouts, weights, reps, calories, macros, weight, BF%, and finances. Those are all for me to determine how I'm progressing toward my goals. The only thing I track from my wife is the start of shark week because I know I'll have an emotional storm brewing in 2-3 days. This isn't necessary and a storm could come any time, but it's a pattern I've noticed.

I use the above to see if I have my shit together, in her eyes.

Stop that. Figure out if you have your shit together yourself by looking in the mirror, not at her. This is basic level stuff. You're looking to her for your validation. Go read NMMNG (hopefully again).

alpha-zach · 2019-03-11T22:48:53+00:00

Interesting approach. I don’t track anything but menstrual cycle. But for the love of all things good and holy, never let her find this spreadsheet. Instantly you’ll go back to a dead bedroom, and likely never recover.

BlindingTwilight · 2019-03-12T00:04:11+00:00

After carefully analysing the data I can confidently state that you need a divorce. No fixing this, it is a train wreck. Dead bedroom for a decade says it all. I am not being nasty to you I am just pointing out the obvious. You are only 51, a year or two of proper exercise, taking car of your body, cleaning up your mind, discovering new passions and skill and you will be a new human being. Get awesome then either ditch the wife or bang younger women. If she is not providing food at home it is time to eat out. Oh and no more spreadsheets unless it is to track your personal development.

screechhater · 2019-03-12T00:28:55+00:00

Wife made the comment the other day of me needing foreplay to come sooner, after our years of interactions of me keeping hard for hours.

“Who’d a thought a man would need that...” was my AM answer.

It illicited a smoking fuckfest of multiple orgasms, buckets of come and me screaming I was gonna fuck her in the ass the next time as I blew my load.

I don’t track shit. We don’t need toys and I fucking lift like it means something

nuclearshart · 2019-03-12T12:02:49+00:00

You must be a sperg yeah?

I currently track 32 high dividend yielding stocks with relatively quick and consistent recovery times, and their average stock value, while standing by for buying and selling opportunities.
