The last paragraph is really important - don't feel pressured to be a completionist in your leisure. Most of your life will give you constant pressure to complete things related to work or school - let your brain enjoy your leisure time and if it wants to move on don't try to force it to stay or stress out about how you'll restart it. In most of life you'll need to learn how to cope and conform to societal expectations around task completion, but it's probably healthy for us to let our brain indulge when we're unwinding.
