Keep better records of my poker play. I know I'm in profit this year from MTTs at DTD but how did I do elsewhere, and on cash?

I've started writing things down a few times but it just fizzles out. Anyone got an app to recommend?

Life? Be as good a son/dad/grandad as I can be.

Well surely just an excel spreadsheet is best and easiest for live? Keep it on google docs so you can update anywhere?

I use an app called poker income for cash games.  Pretty good imo.

Poker:

Do a lot more coaching this year/review of hand histories
Discuss hands with team eureka during and after onlone sessions
Play my best more often. Too many times on session I feel like I lose focus/concentration
Win a ukipt
Play an ept/WPT (national will do)
Make another deep run in a bracelet event
Make the antes in the main

Non poker
Find more of a balance with poker/work and life
Lose weight and eat healthier. Better meals. Less snacking. No late night eating
Play 5 a side Footie to regain fitness
Join 11 a side local team for September
Have more social nights out, not just poker. Pool, karaoke and meals out

Poker

Play more, still undecided on which type to concentrate on, I get fed up with them all after a bad run but think I need to concentrate on either cash, sng's or mtt's for a while
Play live at least once a week
Try and qualify for a DTD event

Non Poker

Lose some weight
Join my local camera club
Crack on with some tv series I have lined up

2012

Joined blonde
Created a diary of all my exploits, poker and life - http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=56559.0
Started the online grind - binkmepls
Got a new grind PC and sick chair
Pleno offered staking, still going, currently in mu, but not a lot
Been between 25 and 10nl all year, now beating 10nl really well and should be moving up shortly
Not been very diligent with records however I 'think':
        Won decent in live comps
        Lost little online mtt's
        Lost little online cash
        Won a little live cash
        Improved un-measurably through online 6max cash grind
        Studied a lot, analyzed a little

Won at my job
Lost at relationship - might be a longterm win, sample size is too small
BE at family life, need to put more effort in next year
Lost with Car
Won at nights out
Lost at keeping fit

2013

Get through 25nl, 50nl, and have a 100k graph of winning at over 1bb/100 at 100nl in 6max cash games online.
Play 1 million hands of poker in 2013 alone.
Played over 100 online tournaments, improve my theory in mtt's.
Take annual leave and go to at least two live events for the duration - UKIPT/ Genting/ EMOP etc... preferably one in Ireland.
Make 5figs in live cash, have a dedicated £1/2 roll and be moving up/ taking shots at 2/5, even bumhunting live 5/10 (heard of a soft game somewhere).
Keep up with the diary and crush the opposition.. most importantly keep the honesty and the openness of it.  It's a strength imo.

Keep crushing work, potentially go for promotion - more stress means less poker... Sad
Be under 90kg in weight (ideally 85kg) and regularly playing both tennis and the lets go to the gym games.
Have cooked real meals for myself more times than I can count on my appendages.
Vegas trip (have enough miles) and come back in the +ve $$.
Beat Alex 'irunsobad' Goulder in the 3some challenge - rules and referees to be decided.
Help my friends to survive 2013, potentially pull some of them away from degen-ing away....

Im usually pretty poor at this sort of thing, so start it simple, most phones have a notepad on them; at end of day or session record as much or as little detail as you want, (start small) then update at end of month onto a spreadsheet. So a night out might mean -£56 torn, up £170 cash. or just + £114 for day. For on line easier just to show any purchases (deposits) and any withdrawals when you do them to start. I started simple but now have an all singing all dancing dbase.

Nicole - my (at the time) 7 year old daughter...

To get a gold certificate at school (she got gold and platinum)
To get a bigger bedroom ( achieved when we moved house in July)
To get a bigger TV in her room (daddy failed on this score!)

Owen (att) 11yr old

To get minecraft (got a new laptop that could run it so achieved)
To get good test results (massively so achieved)
For us all to have a great 2012 (when i asked him just now, said it was best ever)
(New house, disneyworld for 2 weeks helped I'm sure!)

Myself - 37yrs (att)

To build extension or move house (moved house in July)
To get promoted at work (to be fair I had interview for this in November and was awaiting the result, that said I was told it was going to be very hard to get it- was told I got it end of Jan, starting in March!)
To win a live event or have a $1000 in a poker site ( I won DTD £25 tournament in Feb/Mar)

Writing new ones for everyone tomorrow!

 - post less on blonde
 - read things that won't benefit me less
 - play and beat every single poker stake up to whatever starting at nl2 for minimum 20,000 hands each at a very good win rate
 - be the best teacher of poker in the world
 - make PokerStrategy.com the best place for anybody to improve as a poker player
 - make more of an effort with family/friends
 - eat more different food
 - make a big effort with staking and make money with it
 - big live tournament, try to not run like aids
