ORGANIZING IS NOT LIKE GTD THINKS IT IS

I am exhausted, to clear out the basement I have to be able to store all the doors and other things in it elsewhere.  This means I have to reorganize at least three other rooms.  Today three of us moved things off of shelves, undid shelves, redid shelves, moved shelves and finished after eight hours without having put the things back on the shelves, much less put more stuff in the reorganized room.  I am sure this is normal and just as sure that it is very frustrating.  Now off to Home Depot again to buy more stuff.  Who knew that I would spend half my time going and getting stuff so we can work?
