The list of unfinished tasks will be always long. They are like seeds which are sown and watered, but have not matured into trees.
From commercial point of view, finished tasks are billable and they end one side's liability under contract.
A senior lawyer once said, it is not important how much cases you have. What is more important is, how many cases you have finished. Keep a count of cases you have finished and you will soon grow.
It helps to keep count of tasks done or finished.
