I've often thought that I need a word for this. That is, a word for "time wasted for being too much on top of things."

If I understand your post, Nords, if you hadn't gone online and checked, or worried that your bill was late, the corrected bill would have eventually arrived, and you wouldn't have had to make any calls.

This has often happened to me, for example, checking the status of shipped packages.
