Not at all. I'm not trying to achieve all, or even most of those things. I know I won't even be able to do a tenth of them.
One of the core ideas behind GTD is to get these things out of the mind and into a trustworthy system. My Someday/Maybe list is huge because I get it out of my mind and put it somewhere. How many of them I get to do in my life is not at all a concern I have.

When your list is hundreds of items long, and GTD tells you to prioritize every week, that is unsustainable.
For my work GTD, things are simpler. The scope is limited, and there's not attachment to any project. The job dictates most of what needs to be done and it makes prioritizing almost trivial. It's the GTD for the non-work stuff that explodes.
