There is a limit though - as life goes on and becomes more complex, there will never be a case where all pending business is taken care off and there are no worries. For example, children and pets will continuously generate little messes and handling them one by one will leave no time for anything else. With age, one's and one's partner's energy levels also become limited and if they do all the work as soon as it's pending, they will have no energy for anything else. Have to pick and choose and learn to tune out things that are not realistic to immediately address?
