Clean the sheet enough that each row tells you what the product is, why it was saved, and what still needs checking. If a row cannot answer those basics, do not let it compete with stronger options.
Keep only the columns you actually use
Most people need the item type, source link, rough price, size note, photo status, and a short reason for saving it. Anything else should earn its place. Too many columns make every row look important, which is exactly how weak finds survive longer than they should.
Give every row an item type
Do not leave a link sitting in a vague "maybe" bucket. Shoes go to shoes. Wallets and backpacks go to bags. Rings and chains go to jewelry. If the row is apparel, decide whether it is a jacket, shirt, pants, shorts, or sweater before you open more product pages.
Mark rows that are not ready yet
Some links are interesting but not ready for the shortlist. Mark them as weak photos, needs sizing, duplicate, unclear item type, or missing context. That is more useful than leaving everything in the same saved state.
Use notes that help future you
"Good" is not a note. "Clean toe shape," "check zipper color," or "compare against black version" will actually help when you come back later. Write the reason in plain language, then move on.
Quick rule
If three rows are competing for the same purchase, stop saving. Open the matching item type and compare them properly.
Know when the sheet has done enough
Sheets are good for capture. They are not always good for comparison. Once you know you are looking at shoes, bags, watches, jackets, or another specific type, open that group and judge the options together.
The goal is not to keep the most rows. The goal is to keep the rows that make the next decision easier.
