I recently reported on my obsessive compulsive behavior and how I found Psychology Today. That's where I caught OCD, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.See http://www.psychologytoday.com/conditions/ocd.htmFortunately I didn't catch the extreme related disease of trichotillomania which is "the repeated urge to pull out scalp hair, eyelashes, eyebrows or other body hair." Such an urge would be futile for me as I am as bald as Mount Baldy in the Uinta Mountains of Utah.Anyway, I've saved one heck of a lot of time since I read the article on OCD at the stated reference. Here are some examples of daily time savings:Not checking if I still have my car keys in my pocket while shopping: 3 minutesNot paying attention to the thought I wish I were a millionaire: 7 minutesNot checking again and again if the front, back, and garage doors are locked: 12 minutesPaying no attention to the urge to draw up grandiose plans: 17 minutesIgnoring the urge to write down 17 new article ideas: 10 minutesNot checking to see if my wallet is still in my pocket: 6 minutesIgnoring the thought that I sold Microsoft too soon on seven occasions: 4 minutesNot thinking about my lack of expertise at option trading: 3 minutesNot designing another direct mail get-rich scheme: 25 minutesNot reading every word in junk mail: 17 minutesLet's see that is 104 minutes a day or almost two hours. Oh, I forgot a couple:Not trying to memorize π to 50 decimal places: 12 minutesNot starting a new novel: 4 minutesNow that makes 120 minutes or 2 hours a day.I think we can increase these time savings. Let's see–Wait! My wife told me to "Get off of it!"Thanks, Psychology Today!John T.
