Hey...I'm now 10 months in, so I know this dilemma! I think there was a point where I kept thinking that I haven't done enough work ... I constantly felt like I wasn't working hard enough. But I think that once I started my lit review and had a good few pages down I felt that I had done some 'proper' work. I have also started doing some of the main body of work for my phd so feel like I'm getting somewhere now.
I think it is hard to learn how to juggle lots of different bits of work, i found that trying to complete one small section per week (maybe a page of writing) has really helped to build up my lit review. I think once you actually start it becomes easier! I think its sounds like you are definitely on course - you seem to be at a similar stage as I was about 2 months ago!! Don't forget though that everyone's PhD is different and will progress differently. Have you spoken to your supervisors about your progress?
By the way- how is a 4 year phd different from the normal 3 year one?

Have made a resolution not to do any programming today and try and focus on my literature review
Today's Aims:
1. Start work on an appendix which consists of a load of table to be filled in.
2. Read through what I have already done on my lit review, make changes and make a list of what needs to be covered.
3. Review my lit review plan
4. Have a look at systematic review sheets
Today I'm also going to do a time plan as suggested by Lara, although i am a bit late today as I started at 9 this morning!!
