It also has a hint of intention. No? As in what do you intend to accomplish. Disclaimer Yiddish is not my first language.

Sometimes. Depending on the context. אסאך אויפגעטוהן would simply translate as accomplished a lot. No hint of intention there.

There is a saying in Yiddish: A person only has to do, טוען, and Hashem is gonna אויפטוען!
Meaning we just have to put in the efforts, not to acvomplish because results are in hands of Hashem!
