It does still sound like you are doing the sequence to stop something happening - you're trying to stop yourself failing or the work not going the way you want it to.
We can't diagnose on here I'm afraid but magical thinking/intrusive thoughts can form part of OCD. They can be part of being a human being too! I guess the question is whether it's having an impact on your life, which it sounds like it is.
Have you considered speaking to your doctor about this?
