Staying motivated through "Idle" period ..

This morning I woke up to sear horror ! My ToDo folder looked something like this.
Empty, blank and with a message which can be labeled as the worst news to neo-workaholics like me.
"No To Do" items.

I know it is temporary. Still its chilling experience. It is so much better when this list is full with a tiny scroll bar on the right side of it.

Obviously finding difficult to accept this. I am going to spend some time researching today, how do armies stay motivated when they do not have WARs for decades together !!!!
