Default Constantly checking what time it is - adding unecessary stress to my life?

I am self employed and I have quite a big list of things to do each day on my 30 day challenge list, both work and personal development related. I find myself constantly checking the clock (even though I do not have any appointments or time critical tasks).

Some of my goals say I have to do a certain activity X or Y amount of time. So often I project my day and it shows me how much slack time I have. I seem to have developed the habit long ago where I feel like I frequently need to take breaks. I also think that this habit makes me feel like I have to do the tasks on my list and it naturaly makes them seem less enjoyable. Anyone have any experience with this? Today I considered taking down all clocks and disabling my computer clock.

Thoughts and tips on my situation?!

edit: One problem I see with worrying about the time so much is that I can obviously not control the time, and I find it ideal to only worry about the thing I can control .... maybe I should do a 30 day challenge to not check the time?? Is that a good or bad idea?

-thanks
