How to organize data without resorting to excel?

Question

I'm working my way through two different Yoga books, trying to consolidate the different poses into a unified reference for personal use. Excel is very uncomfortable this, so I went with plain text in YAML format. But this seems error-prone and I was wondering what the alternatives may be?

Surely some sort of generic data gathering/ organizing software must exist for personal use?

From what I understand, you are looking for a tool which lets you organize data and also collate it. You can check CollateBox.
You can organize and manage your data easily with this one.

There is Google Refine which is spreadsheet-like but more focused on data filtering and cleaning.
