It is good in part since that dedication will turn you into a good OSM mapper and aid the project itself. Eventually you'll run out of nearby areas to map and will then switch to more detail locally or start to travel elsewhere. Generally the additional cost, editing boredom, tagging arguments and strange people that OSM attracts might help you shift away - but only once the area you can cover is perfect :)

Pace yourself. If that doesn't work, find something you dislike doing and do that till you kick the addiction :)
