What is in the "in between" space?

I was presenting a seminar this week for a Fortune company going through some major internal changes/challenges.

At one point, talking about the physical act of completion (checking something off of a list) someone said, "But, even if you check it off, won't something else just come along and fill up whatever space was just made?"

It is an amazing question.

My thinking about it - now that I have had time to think - leads me to this point:

If the concern is there is always "too much to do," chances are that is where you will stay. If, however, the focus goes to something like, "The results of what I complete are greater than the sum of the parts," we could quite possibly gain perspective we not have had before.

I believe that the point of the game is to complete. Finish a workout. Handle a project. Meet with someone and share information that builds and (or) uplifts.

Then, when you are done with that one, fill in the newfound space with something new. See if that new thing can uplevel you to a new place. Enough lower-level completions, and you may automatically move up to something new!
