“Set impossible challenges. Then catch up with them.” — Richard Branson

If you have been lackadaisical and now looking to reverse.

Don't be astrophysical, or even metaphysical, your problem should be solved much simpler than that.

Find a vehicle you can use in catching up. Don’t confuse catching up with ketchup, It might make you hungry.

You don’t need to rehearse. But you need to be terse to put things fully in reverse.

But if you realize that along you should have been working harder, don’t worry, just start working smarter.

Learn from your mistake, and you won’t have to forsake anything that truly brings you joy.

Make your effort worthy. You won’t appear earthy.

Close, but far from the end. It’s easier to stay caught up than to catch up…
