Three quarters gone, some progress

So I've been attempting to better organise my time using GTD for nine months now. Time enough to cook up a baby but not, it seems, sort myself out.

In fact things are a lot better than they were. I'm managing to get pretty much everything done required of my by my two employers. What's suffering however is the other stuff; the doorframe still needs painting, I need to sort out the loft, and our van needs undersealing... just to name a few things. So essentially work... works, but home doesn't yet.

So there's more to do.

There are two, pretty obvious things that I've learnt: The finest organisational system in the world doesn't work if you don't use it and being incredibly organised doesn't help if you fundamentally have too much to do.

The question I face at the moment is do I have more to do than I can actually achieve, or do I just have much further to go in terms of efficiently using my time?
