PPL and workload

Hey,
Long time since I've posted as I've been doing my PPL in the USA - Horrah!

I'm just interested in how many other people out there, who when first started their PPL found it really daunting when you realise just how much you have to remember when flying. For example:

Constantly making FREDA checks
Adjusting attitude to remain in straight and level
Making the right calls
Looking for fields to make emergency landings
Looking for other traffic
Navigating (enough in itself) and looking for ground references
Remembering emergency procedures and manoeuvre procedures etc etc.

All the while when you're trying to enjoy the flight and fly the aircraft you have these running about in your head!

I was just wondering how long it took most people to have all of this come as second nature?
