It’s pretty unnatural, so I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say. Are you saying that at the end of the day, you spend extra time finishing your work if you haven’t finished it yet?

Yes. I want to say like “ I have to finish my work by the end of the day. but I find it too difficult for me. So I have to spend extra time finishing it.”
Isn’t there a better way to say it?
