I keep on looking at my stats literally every 5 minutes and don’t know how to stop. Even if nothing significant is happening I still look and can’t stop. Normally you would just check morning and night but me it’s 24/7

I don't see anything wrong with it.

It's definitely detrimental to stay focused at something.

Google for ' cortisol awakening response'
Most often linked with smartphone addiction.

That's called doomstatting.

You keep doomscrolling your stats.

There's a simple solution: stop doing it.

I had the same problems for many years. Just recently I learned that serotonin suppresses all unwanted responses and noises.
Increased serotonin level helped me to control my thought process and focus on main tasks.

It can be other problems besides serotonin.

Try to only allow yourself to check once per 30 minutes and then once per hour.
