Seemingly mundane activities like doing laundry are some of the best ways to let the mind relax and take some time off from the cycle of never ending thoughts. It's definitely a bit annoying when my well laid plans gets disrupted, it totally spoils the mood but I guess it's part of what planning is all about lol.
Damn that's actually a good way to think about it man! I never thought of it that way but it makes total sense! We do need to let our brains relax for the stresses of the day for sure.
