my life is a giant game of whack-a-mole®

i focus my entire being on whatever ugly little mole pokes its head out. that's my nature. if i think about the other moles, i won't get to the current one before it's too late.
i beat one of 'em down, and another one appears. the quicker i whack one, the quicker the next shows up.
behind in school. behind in work... behind in pretty much everything, i think.
i don't even like to go to sleep anymore. it seems like i'm wasting time.
so that's my dilemma. how do i take my eye off the current problem long enough to think about what's coming next?
i don't have free time. at any time i'm not working or studying or sleeping i'm stealing from one or more of the above...
when does it all stop?
do i just keep whacking moles for the rest of my life?

I'm totally a mole whacker, and I think everyone needs to whack moles. You just need to make sure that you also plan for the future, and allow yourself to make some sort of progress.

It must be the "mid-twenties raised in Prosser" in us that makes us alike in some of our philosophies and perspectives. I've given up on trying to figure out what is coming next and just focus on making it thru the current day. That barely works sometimes . . .
I feel ya. I guess my philosophy is just make the best of the moment you're in and everything gets done eventually. Just don't forget to have a good time while you're doin it! :)
