tentar acompanhar o ritmo


Explanation:
Esta expressão significa tentar acompanhar o ritmo do que se está a passar. Neste caso, dá-me ideia que a pessoa em questão está a ter dificuldades, porque são muitos problemas e ela é apenas uma só. Como um malabarista lol.
Espero ter sido suficientemente explícita! :)

"1. Also, keep up with. Proceed at the same pace, continue alongside another, as in We try to keep up with the times. [First half of 1600s] This usage, also put as keep pace, appears in the phrase keeping up with the Joneses, which was coined in 1913 by cartoonist Arthur R. Momand for the title of a series in the New York Globe. It means "trying to match the lifestyle of one's more affluent neighbors or acquaintances." For example, Their buying a new van is just another attempt to keep up with the Joneses. "
