So what do you do when you get home from work? Do you make a drink, dinner, or watch your favorite show? Different people, do different things to relax after a long day. But what happens when you can't relax?

Calise on Facebook writes: After a hard day's work, I come home and see all the stuff that I need to do at my house. I end up doing projects at home until it’s time to go to bed. Even my weekends get filled up with obligations and urgent projects. I’m exhausted and I don’t know what to do about it. I’m incapable of relaxing. How do other people wind down after work? How do I keep myself from worrying about all the stuff that still needs to be done and just relax?

You're not the only one who can't relax after a long day...

So how do you switch gears and relax after you've already done so much, but there is still so much to do around the house?
