Personally? No, it's not worth it. Do I follow that advice? Of course not, haha. I check once in the morning and once in the evening. That's it. I check my spam folder in my email once a day too, just in case there is correspondence from the department in there.
Based on what others have said, it's just best to sit back and take a breath. Relax and they will come to you if they need something or if a decision has been made on the visa.
Patience is key. That's all. We all want the same thing, some of us get it sooner than others, but we all just have to be patient.
