It's so easy to go from one thing to the next and tell ourselves it's productive, that we're doing a good job, and making a difference; I think society is geared that way, to have those thoughts. But, there's more to life and to ensure we are living our best one I believe we need to stop, take a breath, a moment to let everything go and to find some inner peace. Everything else will always be there waiting for us.
Having said that, I get what you mean. Things need to be done, moved forward, finalised. Finding a balance somewhere between the two is a good plan, making it happen is often difficult though.
