Your work day is over, but you can't seem to pull yourself away.
There's nothing that can't wait until tomorrow, but you find yourself doing the rounds of emails and social media. It's perhaps why you are here.

I'm harnessing my screen addiction for my well-being.
Note: The long term solution is to make plans in advance that don't involve screens. I'm going Swimming in an hour and then have a singing class, if you care to know!
