The present progressive tense is frequently overused by learners of Spanish. If you're are in the very process of resting, you should use the present tense instead.
Descanso un rato antes de limpiar la casa.
= I'm resting a bit before cleaning the house.

As I learn how to work with the language I keep finding that I run into issues with being too literal  .
