Ask HN: How do you organize everything you want to do?

I keep categorizing ideas that I really want to execute into groups like work, personal life, projects etc, and then try to allocate time to them. But even when I try to focus and narrow the list of things I want to do, life still gets in between. So how do you go about it? In the end I spend more time reorganizing my ideas than working on them >.<</i>
