Are you working on your DM? On my LA I will sometimes set a coin of the size I want next to the quilt area to remind me of size--mine tend to get tinier when I'm tired so taking a break is good, too. To keep from "row"when you spiral out keep following the outer edge at random spots to start your next spiral. Also, you can travel in different areas if you spiral in-out and then switch next one to an out-in formation.
