Writing out the exact times, dates I played a certain computer game

I never used to do this but ever since I have started my accounts assistant apprenticeship and also understanding more and more about accounts, how they work, I've shown a very strong interest of the subject, Now I start to write the exact time started watching a blu ray movie, time finished watching a blu ray movie, type of earphones used, location and the date! I also do this for games as well like the time started playing, time finished playing etc.

I actually like doing this because I feel it just makes my life better, like before I had this habit, I watched a movie and then left it there for a next watch, when I do think about that movie or game again, I think to myself, hmm, I wonder when the last time and date I watched/played it was and also how many times have I watched/played it? I always wanted to know and by writing it down, I can just refer to the sheet in the future then it makes my thoughts less confusing because all the information is already displayed on the sheet for me to look at! Everytime when I finished writing out a sheet with the relevant details on, I put the sheet in the game/movie case so it doesn't get lost and that it is easy to find. I love typing so much and whenever I talk about something, I always end up going into a lot of detail like now. I just want to say everything that is in my mind.

When I buy things, I always keep the receipt because I know the exact time and date I bought them and what shop etc, I never used to do this befoee and again, I wondered when I bought the object, I recently bought a pad for me to write all these times and dates I watch a movie or play a game and I wrote a reference, page number on each of the sheets in the pad so then I know the sheets in the pad, if they get detached from the pad, would relate to the pad that I bought also because of the receipt of the pad which I stapled with a small peice of notebook sheet saying the reference for the receipt is to do with the pad!

Because I got diagnosed with aspergers a few months ago or at least I found out I had it, it's helped me understand myself a lot more with positives although there are quite a lot of negatives about it as well. But yeah, by doing all these things, I feel it makes it less confusing when I do look at the case, or the object and random thoughts start popping into my head like when did I last play this, watch this, or bought this etc

I'm just wondering if any of you all have simular actions like me.

    You are just looking for an ordered world, you have control of these items and behaviour, so it gives you perimeters by cognitive fencing your own world because you have an open vast mind.

    I wonder ? thinking you have an ordered controlled world, does this give you less anxiety, it does for me.
