Hit 200 different coffee roasts tracked in my notebook and realized I have a problem
My daily habit turned into a spreadsheet obsession and now I can't even order a plain cup without checking if I've logged that roast before, has anyone else accidentally turned their morning routine into a full-time research project?

Man that "full-time research project" line hit way too close to home. I had a buddy who did the same thing with hot sauce, ended up with a binder full of heat ratings and flavor notes. He wouldn't even eat at a restaurant unless he'd vetted their sauce selection online first. It got so bad his girlfriend hid his notebook and told him to just enjoy his tacos like a normal person. Took him six months to break the habit and just eat without documenting everything.

Oh man, I've been there with a different obsession... best thing I ever did was set a hard rule of "one hour of research max" and then force myself to just go try stuff without overthinking it.
