I sit down, ready to relax, but my mind won’t let me. Did I reply to that email? Oh, and I need to buy groceries. Wait, wasn’t I supposed to call someone today? I grab my phone to check but end up scrolling mindlessly. Minutes turn into an hour. Now it’s too late to do anything, yet my brain still reminds me of every unfinished task.
So, I grab a notebook and write everything down. Seeing it on paper makes it feel less overwhelming. I’ll handle it tomorrow, but for now, I let myself rest.
