Is there such a thing as being Caught Up?

Do you ever catch up? I don't seem to be able to catch up with housework, laundry, cleaning out closets, office work and business files, cleaning the garage and SLEEP (I am always overly-fatigued)! I do seem to stay quite busy all the time and sometimes it feels I'm running in circles. I remember feeling this way quite often when my children were small and toys seemed to be all over, but now they are older and "their things" still seem to be all over and out of place. I've discussed with them about respecting their rooms, and especially the "common areas" of our home, but frankly somewhere along the line they missed that instruction or rather I've failed miserably at teaching this to them. I hear from their friends Mom's and others how wonderful my children are at their homes.....so how did I miss teaching them that our home is important and deserves respect also? I'm at a loss when I come home and find the living room looks like a tornado has gone right through it leaving only the roof and walls intact. Anyway, back to my original question---Do you catch up? and if you do, please share your secret!
