Not in a Monk-like fashion, but I have my little compulsions.
For example, when I'm about to go somewhere, I usually pick some tissues, because I use them a lot. And I always have to rub my nostrils with the last one I pick.
Also, I have to close every FF tab with clicking the wheel.
When I have a pen in my hand, I have to bite it. It also helps me, because I usually carry three, and I can recognize the one I'm using because it's the biten, while the others are mint.
I have to turn off my cellphone when I go to sleep. If I'm in bed and realize I left my cell on, I go turn it off.
I probably have more, if I think some others I'll post them

There is a difference between obsession and compulsion. Obsessions are thoughts that cause compulsions. Compulsions are tasks or acts that satisfy the obsession.

You can say I (and everyone who posted) have both obsessions and compulsions, so any word would fit. In spanish it's more common to say obsession than compulsion, though, so that's why I used it
