Playing catch up
When you've fallen behind, it can be difficult to catch up. You find yourself having to work double or triple time to get back to where you want (or need) to be.

What do you really want to do?
I think sometimes the fear we have of making the wrong choice is really just a sign that our mind is not clear.
