Welcome to the club. In all seriousness, this is (IMHO) the major reason
why things don't get done. Even all those obvious things that should have
been done long ago. And also why people keep suggesting the same good
ideas, over and over again, until they start to sound stale. They're not
actually stale, everybody's just disappointed that no one found the time
for them yet.

This is probably a bigger impediment to progress in the world than
ignorance, NIH, and narrow mindedness. And that's saying a lot.

I'm as guilty of this as anyone else, of course. And I intend to change
that, as soon as I find the time. :-)
