Thought: recovery is more about restoring order than energy. What is truly exhausting is not energy expenditure but entropy increase. Structured expenditure of energy, like a run or gym session are actually restorative overall, and locally (muscles) quick recovery.

Some good answers here. In keeping with my order/entropy point, some behaviors I personally find highly restorative are personal grooming behaviors: shave, clip fingernails, get a haircut. To a lesser extent, tidying up. I value tidiness more than cleanliness (up to a point)

For work stuff, I find some kinds of process reconciliation work restful and restorative. Liking catching up on logging hours, sending out invoices, filing away expense receipts.

6 stages of recovery 1. Chill, eat, sleep 2. Basic triage ordering to get to minimum functional potential 3. Escapist leisure to more orderly places (TV/fiction) 4. Advanced order restoration, short of OCD 5. Energy reboot with exercise 6. Low-stakes creative work-play (poiesis)
