English term or phrase: mull over the events of the day

A lot of men bring their offices into bed with them. They lie in bed and think about their jobs, or they balance their checkbooks, or they fight with the boss. If you find yourself falling into this pattern, set up a "worry chair." For 10 minutes before bed, just sit quietly in the same place and mull over the events of the day. You may not solve any pressing problems, but you'll at least be able to put them in order and set your priorities for the next day.
试译：
许多人把办公室也搬到了卧室。他们躺在床上考虑工作、核对帐目或者与老板争吵。要是你发现自己也是这样，不妨弄一把“解愁椅”坐坐。上床前10分钟，只要静静地坐在同一个地方，考虑当天的事情（？？？）。虽然你可能解决不了任何紧迫的问题，但至少可以把第二天的事情安排得稳稳当当、知道个轻重缓急。

翻译有没有问题？

把当天的事情过过电影

Explanation:
这是比较形象一点的说法。

此外，为什么要把"worry chair"译为“解愁椅”？我觉得“worry chair”的作用好象不是解除忧愁，而是让你多点忧虑，谋划明天，未雨绸缪。可不可以叫它“忧思椅”或“退思椅”？

随后一句中“可以把第二天的事情安排得稳稳当当”似乎有点偏了，好象应该是“可以把问题理出个头绪，第二天该怎么做就有了轻重缓急。”

回顾当天的事情

Explanation:
如果翻成回顾是否更好？因为这是睡觉前做的动作，应该是回放一下今天所做的事。考虑则多少有些未来的意味。
