Maybe you didn't ask a specific question but you're feeling unsatisfied and anxious after the day's work.

I've been there, one time I was lying down and asking, where am I?

During the times of the activities, I was just buzzing around feeling productive until later.

It wasn't that the tasks weren't worth it. It was because they weren't classified. And you know what they say, "when you don't plan for the day, the day plans for you" and this might have been the case of your constant rambling at the end of each day.

It also gives you a sense of relief and dampens the disorder and anxiety that comes with the lack of prioritizing.
