Don't wish you didn't have any more problems, wish for bigger problems, right? You got to sit and figure shit out anyways. Why not work on stuff that's bigger, that's going to get you better results? The to do list will never end. It's being okay with the fact that sometimes you don't get things done, sometimes you don't implement.
