I write down every gallon of gas I put in my truck,the date ,price per gallon,miles since last fill up and calculate mpg.
Then total all that for the year.

Also write down every gallon of gas I buy for mower,weedeater,chainsaw
(not separately).Total it for the year.
Do same for diesel I buy for my tractors.

Drives my wife crazy if we take a road trip,I write down all that when we buy gas and calculate mpg.

I’ve gotten better about it, but if I can’t find some random, often worthless thing, like a particular screw or a tube of super glue, I’ll obsess over it way too long. I’ve gotten better about translating that time and energy into my billable hour. Wasting 30 minutes on a 30 cent item is not good maths.

Well, of course. 6/2=3 and 3 is prime. That’s a tie at best!

I spell words using my fingers like you would on a computer keyboard, then type them out as if the keyboard were a mirror on the other side. Then I’ll count the letters in the words I spell on my fingers. Been doing this since I was in my teens. I’m 50 now.
I know this is weird as $hit but hey, whatever.
I also say out load ‘door is locked’ when I leave my house so I don’t second guess myself down the road and turn around just to check to make sure I locked the door. Saying it out load helps me to remember.

Keys, badge, phone, leave your home. (I carry all essential cards on my phone, so I don't carry a purse).

Good grief y’all are some screwed up people,. Me, too.
I pretty much count everything - steps, cars, trees, floor planks, ceiling tiles, geometric patterns, etc…. even stripes on suits.
I spreadsheet everything, especially financial data. My worst sign of tism tho is stairs. Doesn’t matter how many there are but before i reach them i have already counted to make sure when i step off itis with my right foot.

I’m interested in this… is it state dependent on what you can “officially” carry on your phone? I’d like to be as minimalist as humanly possible.

Sally, I made it sound more techy (which is probably possible). I just have my license, CC & health insurance cards secured physically to the back of my phone. I have never carried a purse and this works for me.

Purses stink.

I have a wallet thingy that my phone magnetizes to-.a little room for cards, less room for cash. But, it’s purple, pretty and has a wrist loop.

I know some states let you “carry” a digital DL- dunno if SC is one.

Anywho, good to know I’m not the only minimalist.

Yup. I document where I’ve gone, cool places I’ve visited, eaten at, stayed at. I make lists of everything in that regard.

OK, that's a bridge too far man.

Do you go back and analyze the data, make some sort of deduction or change of behavior based on it? Or just do all that and never revisit it?

Everyone is on the spectrum. It is just a matter of where.

I can’t begin to walk/run with my right foot. Have to start on the left. It’s an issue when I ride shotgun bc I have to pivot to get my left leg down and out.

Pretty normal to do something like that. I have something similar.

I have to set my alarm ending in five or zero so I am your opposite. I also have other OCD issues as well.

I sing jingles from TV commercials and insert my dogs names into them. For instance..... In the Dudley Debosier commercials I'll sing Buddly Deboiser because my dogs name is Buddy. And I do it for all the catchy annoying commercials.

I realize this is retarded.

I put the tooth paste on my brush sideways not long way

I have the houses in my neighborhood numbered and I know how many steps are left on my walk depending on the number

I use the coffee pods in the tray according to the day. i.e. first slot is Monday, second is Tuesday and so on.
