I82, thanks for posting the Newhart Clip. Hysterical and great advice also!
Mark, I also like your simple way of looking at things. Got something figured out within an acceptable range? Good, move on to the next thing. Checking your PP too often? .... STOP IT!!!!

What a wonderful way of looking at things, Mark. Would you be willing to share some of your other "life systems?" Maybe in a new thread.

I love it. I tend to think life can be split up into 7 areas of health to be balanced against each other:
1) Family
2) Social
3) Mental
4) Physical
5) Spiritual
6) Career
7) Financial
Building in systems in your life to promote these areas of balance certainly is ideal!

I don't know if this helps regarding ways to avoid looking at your investments too much but I think this article can help explain why it is probably not a very good idea for your health or your investment returns:
