You haven't figured out what to do yet, but you've already knocked out one more thing
Getting things done can shrink the workload — it doesn't necessarily answer why you're this tired.
You said you'd get an early night, and then after finishing the dishes you wiped down the counter, and after that you answered two more emails. Each finished thing feels a bit good — but the moment you actually try to sit down, your head goes, "might as well knock out tomorrow's too, while I'm at it." Going by your answers, when stress hits, you tend to get yourself moving, getting through the uneasy gap with visible progress.
The Sprint Beast wants "at least one thing still moving forward." Taking action can genuinely handle real problems, and it can offer a bit of certainty while you wait for something else. But some of that discomfort comes from a message that hasn't been answered, or an outcome that hasn't been decided yet. Finishing one more task usually won't change the thing you're actually worried about — it just keeps you from having room to think about it for a while.
The list gets shorter, but you don't necessarily feel any lighter. Rest requires actually stopping, and stopping is exactly what lets that unease come into focus — so the next small task suddenly looks extremely worth doing right now. At moments like this, the question isn't how much you got done today, but whether you can still choose not to. If every gap has to get filled, tiredness might never actually get counted into the plan.
Before starting the next thing, write one line: "I'm rushing to do this right now because..." The honest answer might really be that it's due tomorrow morning — in which case, pick the one truly necessary step. Or it might be that waiting for a reply is unbearable, or you don't know how to sit with disappointment — in which case, try writing that worry down separately, and give yourself ten minutes without chasing progress. Not every pause will feel comfortable right away; you can start with something short and specific.
"I'll pick this back up tomorrow — I'm stopping here tonight." And to yourself: "I'm still waiting on that answer, but there's no new task I need to fill the waiting with right now." This result doesn't mean staying busy is a problem, and it's not dismissing what action does for you — it's just a chance to notice how much of what you're doing is actually your choice, and how much is because stopping simply feels too unfamiliar. Give the day a closing point, and tomorrow's energy gets counted in too.
