Is this technique counterproductive ?

[Yolusef]

Every 10 minutes, I try to remember in detail what I've just been doing. 

Am I leaving the present moment, by doing this or am I becoming more aware ?

[PsiloPutty]

Well, if you're reminding yourself every 10 minutes to do that, that itself takes mindfulness! So yeah sure, that counts is mindfulness.

@Yolusef Very close. Just return to what is happening *now*.

as @Serotoninluv said, stay mindful in the present moment - lose the trying and remembering

Why do you do that?

To be aware of what I am doing, to not live on "autopilot mode"

@Yolusef This is very likely neurotic. Go with the flow instead.

Nature doesn't interrupt its flux. Do you see dogs stopping every once in a while to "be aware" (whatever that means) of what they're doing?
