Hello, Eugenio!
Perhaps, you can use the idiom "to bite off more than you can chew"; It's impossible to finish the work as quickly as you wish; I can't bite off more than I can chew".
That's it!

Sendo esta é uma expressão idiomática regionalizada; decerto há uma imensa variedade de versões pelo mundo. Algumas que eu conheço e, que possuem alguma similaridade com esta: BURN THE CANDLES AT BOTH HANDS, SPREAD YOURSELF TOO THIN, BITE OFF MORE THAN ONE CAN CHEW...
Sure Redseahorse! As every idiom, it varies all through the globe, being adapted according to cultural and social aspects. Those you've mentioned convey a similar meaning. Just a simple correction: "burn the candles at both ends".
Try hard as you might you won't/can't finish the job as fast as you think. You are spreading yourself too thin!
I don't favor the "won't" (a.k.a. Will not )- because it might seem as you discouraging the person to do that task/job. Not that "can't" be an incentive as well, but it's used to give an advice, like I did in the second sentence.
One more thing. That's just one possibility, in a given context, of course.
