For some reason i'm always counting steps.

Uh oh.

I like counting my steps when I walk, but I lose count. I bought a pedometer, but neither Roy or I could figure out how to work it. 

No.

....lol, noooo

....4 o's

I've sometimes counted steps when I'm walking home on a very cold day....just trying to encourage myself that, for example, it's only about 300 more steps.

I have heard though, that repeated counting is (or can become) a kind of obsession, as in OCD.

I do tend to keep a history of distance,time ,weight, and various other things,i am hoping it is not OCD..>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

If you don't already know that it's OCD, I guess you can live with it. :)

I worked retail for most of my adult life on and in a management and buying level.  I was required to count everything including time. It does not go away and it is not OCD. 

I worked on a managennt program two years ago. My role was research and editing. The project was based on Continious Improvement based upon Lean Principles.

Counting all things is normal. We only have a numbered amount of time available to us.  As humans we are afraid of death. 'Time' is ticks and steps.  ... We naturally count. 

That is why the abacus is still really cool.

I counted steps from my car to classroom, canal to corner. I was not wearing my Fitbit.
