It's like running a marathon and you keep falling on your face because your shoes are untied, but you "don't have time" to stop and tie them, so instead you just keep tripping over and over and over while your competition recedes into the distance.

One possible retelling: An outside inspection comes to a busy construction site. As they watch the workers running with wheelbarrows, back and forth between material storage and active construction, they notice that all the wheelbarrows are empty. They flag a foreman, and ask him, "why are all these workers pushing empty wheelbarrows around?", to which the foreman replies, "we're so swamped with work, there's no time to load them!".
