I'm doing everything I can to beat it, but its just so hard

I wake up, I'm thinking about EU5. I'm at work/running errands, I'm thinking about EU5. I get home and log in to play EU5 and I'm thinking about how to reshape the history of my empire over the next 300 years.

I log out to go to sleep, I'm thinking about EU5. I finally go to sleep, I'm dreaming about EU5 and painting the map.

I wake up....and the entire cycle starts over. And again, and again and again.
