Hello, I'm a brazilian english student and have learned American English, but next week I'm supposed to deliver a speech at the British Council here in Brazil. And I don't if this expression works in British english. Help me?
*don't know if
the context is "there's so much we need to get done, yet so little resources that makes it extremely hard to know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon", it's supposed to mean "it makes it extremely hard to know what to do first"
