The short answer is yes, if you let it. There are really two aspects of this (maybe more for some). For me, organization/management is like a hobby, albeit one I enjoy only in short bursts. I do sometimes enjoy puttering around with my collections in Calibre for books, Musicbee for music and audiobooks, etc., as well as backing things up. But after about ten minutes I'll think, instead of doing this, I could be reading, or actually paying attention to the TV show or movie that I have playing as I am messing about with my media with my laptop. So I organize some, but then I add some so my media is forever in a state of semi-organized chaos.
The other aspect that could potentially be burdensome - you know, in a "first world problem" sort of way - is that there is so much content out there, and I am interested in so many damn things. Music, Books (both fiction and nonfiction), films, TV, sports, even video games occasionally - and many genres and types of each. I want to read "War & Peace" someday, and immerse myself in classical music, and watch every episode of Star Trek: the Next Generation and watch every James Bond movie in chronological order (one goal I actually achieved recently), and then I'll suddenly think "I want to read a book about the Vikings, (or the origins of World War I, or the American colonial period, or whatever)". That is why I dubbed myself "media junkie".
I do also spend precious time researching and compiling lists of stuff I want to check out. If I like something I immediately need to know every similar or "recommended if you like" item and add it to my list or sample it. I've made peace with the fact that I'll never get to it all. There are plenty of books, movies etc, that are high on my list, then fade back and I never get to them. That's one reason why I have very little patience for mediocrity - I only have time for the best. I used to always complete a book I started no matter how terrible - at some point I realized how foolish that was. If it is something I've paid a decent amount for (like an ebook costing $10 or more) I'll give a longer leash to, in order to try to get my money's worth. And with that, I think I've babbled on enough :-)
