Wasting time the wrong way

[US poet]

I'm not attempting to delay in any way,
but there are just so many things that catch my attention,
so many interests that I just don't have the time,
and I pile high the amount that I want to do,
at the same time,
that when I try to contemplate,
what my next move will be,
something new shows up and distracts me again.
I want to plan ahead,
I want to follow through,
I don't want to get behind,
and waste more time,
but it's like any addiction,
I just come back for more abuse,
to my management of the next interval,
that prevents me from advancing,
but I can't help the return,
there's always something new to see,
new to experience,
and I know that I'll enjoy what I come across.
Sometimes I wish I could disconnect from it all,
and go for the simple,
but those thoughts don't last long,
as I know I'll end up wasting that time too.
I guess I'm just on an endless loop,
that keeps pushing me to the next destination,
and I know I can still get done what I need to,
at least that's what I keep telling myself.
