I've been doing origami since I was 7 or 8 years old. I have the folds for over 100 different patterns memorized so when working on a project like yesterday, it's a soothing, repetitive process for me, similar to washing dishes or chopping vegetables.
On the contrary, I also like folding really complex creations that consist of 100-300 folds and assembling multiple folded pieces like this 6 sided Sputnik kusadama folded with double pieces of paper. A piece of this nature may take a few hours from start to finish but it's really satisfying once it's done.
Below are a few photos of my "folding station" - desk area.
If you're feeling stressed out and your mind needs a little excersize, why not try some origami?
