I am logging a lot on my personnal email and banks accounts «just in case something changed» and feel ridiculous each time :) But I would like to get more in one of your bad habit: to question every purshase I make, because I don't do it regularily, and this would be helpful to me I think!

But it goes in cycles. I may check all the time for 3 weeks then not check at all for 3 months, then repeat the cycle sometimes. The cycle is bad, as I sometimes make bad decisions then. But its also good, as I follow news more then as well so come out learning. Just need to learn to strike a balance I think. Checking prices of stocks and my ETFs multiple times a day.

It's not healthy to be so micro all the time, you end up making micro decisions that impact the macro picture - often to the downside... For me anyways...
