OMG, I'm terrible about centering on my books. If a book in my PC has a slope up or down and isn't nicely centered it'll bug me until I get rid of it and find another. I'll try not to look at it. Or talk to it.

I think my OCD manifests mostly in the way I level up my characters in video games.  I want them all to have (reasonably) even power levels, and be fully equipped, even if I barely use those characters.  Of course I do power up the ones I use more first.

 Do you try to slip its meals under the door? And quickly while no one is looking???

Two things. 
1.  When I board and bag the books They must be perfectly centered with even amounts of the white backing board showing around the edges. It’s like straightening pictures on the wall. Sometimes I’ll go through entire boxes just to make sure. 

2.  I use an inventory database software called Recollector (highly recommended), each book gets its own inventory page, and you can totally customize your own template by creating data fields for things like publisher, publication date, amount paid, seller, grade, date purchased etc etc. Anyway I have about 500 books logged. But every once in a while I’ll notice a new detail I want to list that’s not on my current template. So I am compelled to create a new field, which ripples through my entire collection, requiring me go re-examine each book. Right now it’s paper quality. So I’m in the process of going back through my entire collection to assign PQ. I already have PQ listed in a field called “Overall Description”, but the template would be so much cooler with a drop down menu with all the different PQs, giving PQ it’s own little box. It takes forever but it’s fun to go through the books. Burn out inevitably sets in but I can’t stop till it’s done.
