Do I have an important essay due in a few days? yes

Have I spent the last few days obsessing over my writing project instead of working on my essay? also yes

Will I ever develop the ability to prioritise? no, probably not.

thinking about how in the iliad, a book filled with characters that are prideful and arrogant and that specifically been described as their fatal flaw, patroclus is constantly described as 'gentle' and 'kind' by everyone who knew him, even by his enemies.
