It does always seem that we find ourselves behind --- behind in work, behind in understanding what's going on with our friends, behind in our duties to family, friends, and job, just "behind." Why do we fall behind? Too many duties; too high an expectation of ourselves; too few hours to correct mistakes?
All those reasons and a lot more. We wait until the last possible moment; we procrastinate well beyond the level of recovery; we allow ourselves to go "slack" when we need to be taut! We wait; and wait; and wait some more. Sometimes to a ridiculous degree. Are we "bad people" because of this? Sometimes yes. Most often no -- but only because most people are this way -- most people spend their lives "catching up" but never, ever quite getting there.
