Yes, I think you’re missing one thing.

“Getting stuff out of your head to de-stress the brain” means: Getting boring stuff out of your head. Stuff like “I must not forget to pay the bills, to do this and do that…” Yes, these things must not get forgotten but if your brain is occupied with remembering this, it has less capacity to do the “heavy-lifting”, to do interesting, challenging thinking. And challenging thinking is what keeps our brain in good shape.

Just my 2ct.
