Obsessive Stats Refreshing - Sleep with iPhone

[Former_Member]

I think I might seriously have a problem. I've find myself waking up frequently in the middle of the night to check my stats on my iPhone. Not good when you have 3 little boys and need to be in a good mood during the day. Anyone else as obsessive as me? come on, make me feel better . . .

ME TOO!! I figured out google analytics yesterday, which made OH so much worse! And don't even get me started on blog stats...

LOL! Yes I check my stats before going to bed, in the middle of the night (when I wake up to go to the bathroom), and first thing when I wake up. = D

Yes, I'm totally obsessed to the point where I am not productive in actually creating stuff for my shop. I've been doing so much to try to make our shop seen more, I can't help but check it constantly to see if all my work has been paying off.

I am obsessed too, unfortunately, my stats don't move a lot during the day (or night).

Me too! I stopped looking at my phone at 6pm last night and didn't do it again until this morning. Very proud of myself!

OH, MY...I don't need anything else to adversely affect my sleep!! Did have one night recently, was crazy over reworking titles, etc, etc....it wound me so tight, I thought of nothing but stats, etc all night...and there aren't that many stats to think of. LOL!

Wait, wait! How do I check my shops stats on my phone?! I thought the etsy App didn't have that feature. I obsess about not being able to see it while I'm away from my computer. lol!

[Former_Member]

I've already check at least twenty times today. I am freakishly obsessed as you are. Fortunately I have an android, and there's no official etsy app for it. But I can't even get anything done on my computer without checking my latest shop stats.

Are we all crazy miserable souls or what? LOL

@sylvia I use the regular internet to check stats on my phone!

I'm a bit obsessed too.

[Former_Member]

I didn't think to just use the regular internet to check my stats. I was thinking you were talking about an option on the app to do it.

If it was available on the app I'd check them all the time. Thankfully there isn't that option!

I'm not so much obsessed with my stats as I am with looking for new e-mails and convos! I keep my iPad next to my bed and will check before bed and then again, first thing when I wake up!

[Former_Member]

I WAS doing that, but I realize I am spending WAY too much time on the internet. I need to spend the time creating/living instead. I'm going to try a quick check in the morning, in the middle of the day, and before bed. The time I spend editing photos/listing is already a huge chunk of time. I'll blog maybe once a week and check on my other sites periodically (fb, twitter, etc...).

I've been WAY to obsessive and it has to stop. At least it shows we are SUPER passionate about our shops, but we really need BALANCE. I'm a mommy too and need energy for other things too :)

Good luck to you!

My iphone/etsy stats have taken over. Especially since I got the app that lets me see my stats with a single click...I know how you feel! It's interesting to see early morning views :)

YOU ARE NOT ALONE
