It’s always the same thing: I tell myself, “If I can just make it through this week…” But of course, I never seem to catch up. There’s always something holding me back–another press release, another unexpected bill, another pile of paperwork through which I have to sort.
For the longest time, I’ve maintained a degree of optimism about this, convincing myself that it’s actually possible to get ahead of the game. That mindset, however, is wearing thin. I’m beginning to understand that being two steps behind is simply a way of life…
…Still, I wonder what would happen if I actually managed to pull it all together. What would I do with all that time?
