Those to-do statistics paint a grim picture, so here's some doc-done data as an offset.
By my incomplete & error-prone records, collectively we're averaging 0.94 doc tasks per day over the last year. Bump that up a bit if you count each HCat and WebHCat wikidoc separately. Bump it down for duplicate records. Bump it back up for tasks I did on the fly, without email records. That's 336 tasks done vs. 212 on the to-do list (99 for 0.14, 36 lower priority wish-list) roughly speaking.
