I got burned out on counting watching Sesame Street back in the day.

I don't count carbs, I just focus on eating "carbs that count". To me "carbs that count" means nutrient dense fresh veggies and fruits for starters. Since I'm a vegetarian I usually make food choices with proteins (that count) in mind first, then allow for a reasonable dose of carbs (that count) and add enough healthy fats to keep it interesting.

Works for me.

By the way, I also resist counting during exercise too. 100 side straddle hops takes 1/2 of a typical song on my MP3 playa.

I just can't imagine a lifetime of 1-2-3-4-5-6.... ugh.
