Looking at your analytics and stats all the time is a terrible idea. They're normally just estimated and eventually YouTube will remove double views. Say 1 person clicks your video 10 times.. That will count as 10 views for a while until YouTube do their clear out where they will turn it back to 1 view like it should be in the first place.

Being what sounds like a small channel because of the money you're saying is in your Analytics, I would just not look at the analytics or views. Concentrate on the content. If you're spending 10-20 minutes a day checking these things and worrying about them. Stop. Spend that 10-20 minutes coming up with new ideas and fresh content. Eventually the views will roll in.

P.S. Don't even bother looking at the money side of things for a while. This is where a lot of people go wrong (including myself). We rush into partnerships thinking that will help your channel grow and trying to make money off something that takes time to nurture.

Looking at your analytics and stats all the time is a terrible idea.

I always compare this to weighing yourself every day when you're trying to lose weight. It causes you to unfairly judge how well you are doing based on minor, natural fluctuations and could cause you to lose focus on what you should be focusing on (quality content).

Personally, I wouldn't even enable monetization until I either had an established channel and was getting a good number of views per day. Up until then there is no reason to monetize, especially since monetizing itself can cripple a young, unestablished channel's retention. The more ad people have to sit through, the less video they are likely to sit through, in my opinion.
